I think this brace will work but I’m concerned about the strap that goes under the shoe. I’ll be wearing the brace with shoes that don’t have cleats, if the strap wears out can the strap be replaced?
That’s great to hear, Vickey! The strap that runs under the shoe is reinforced with Kevlar—so while it may wear down over time like a shoe sole, it shouldn’t break. If it ever does, just let us know and we’ll replace it for free.
After surgery on my ankle my doctor recommended an over the shoe brace. I chose the Tayco Brace. It helps support my ankle yet lets in flex. I have only been using it a little over a week but am pleased with the way it works. once fitted for the shoe it's easy on and off.
Thank you for your reivew, Charles! We’re glad to hear the AthleticX Brace is providing the support you need after surgery while still allowing for some flexibility. Wishing you continued progress in your recovery!
Much smaller than a walking boot, this brace allows the comfort and convenient of wearing regular shoes, yet still achieving the fixed 90 degree angulation needed for healing. In addition, it can be adjusted to allow limited movement for transitioning into full articulation. (Great for driving, whereas a standard walking boot may be too wide to hit the brake pedal without also simultaneously pressing the accelerator.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Daniel! We’re thrilled to hear that the RecoverX provided you with the support you needed — while still allowing the comfort and convenience of wearing your regular shoes. Wishing you continued success in your recovery journey!
