Finally, someone took all the annoying things about traditional braces and upgraded them to be more comfortable, longer lasting, and more versatile. Not to mention, the recovery time is improved and less annoying complications you normally see with traditional medical boots or in shoe braces. Thank you!!!!
The company was very responsive, both when answering my questions before ordering, and in sending a replacement strap when I discovered the top strap didn't quite fit my Gaviota 5 Hoka. I've only worn the brace twice so far, but it appears well made, supportive, and exactly what I was hoping for to help support activities like hiking and pickleball. Thank you Tayco!
