I use it for golf and walking my only thought is the racket strap on bottom is how long will it last before it brakes
Thank you for sharing your experience, Ron! We’re glad to hear the AthleticX Brace is providing the stability you need for golf and walking. Regarding the stirrup strap, it’s reinforced with Kevlar to withstand repeated use under your shoe, and it’s designed to be one of the most durable components of the brace. We appreciate your feedback and are confident it will continue supporting you for many rounds ahead!
It is definitely helpful in keeping my ankle stable. I have posterior tibial tendinitis and if I step just wrong it causes a shooting pain up my ankle and irritates it more. I got this brace to wear when I go out and about to keep me more aware and stable. I do not wear it in the house.
I wear a women’s size 9 even though my foot measures as an 8.5. I bought the medium brace (women’s 9-11). I think it might be just a tad on the loose side for ankle stability but I think the small would have been too small.
Overall it is helpful. Maybe not as helpful as I would have hoped but still worth it.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, Patty! We’re glad to hear the RecoverX Brace has helped provide more stability and confidence while managing your posterior tibial tendinitis. We appreciate your honest feedback on the fit and support level, and we’re happy to hear it has still been a worthwhile addition to your recovery journey. Wishing you continued stability and comfort as you get back to the things you love.
My son used this only once for football practice because he ended up feeling more pain with it on then without it. I wish I can return it and get out money back
Update : Company reached out and I was able to return brace. Customer service representatives go above and beyond to help.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Gabriela. We’re sorry to hear the brace did not provide the relief your son was hoping for and that he experienced increased discomfort during practice. Every injury, athlete, and stage of recovery is different, and while TayCo Brace helps many people stay active with greater stability, we understand it may not be the right solution for everyone. Our team will be reaching out directly to help facilitate a return and make sure you’re taken care of. We appreciate you giving the AthleticX Brace a try.
Probably the best brace I've bought for my kids, very durable and comfortable. Highly recommend
Thank you for the great review, Samisoni! We’re thrilled to hear the AthleticX Brace has been durable, comfortable, and a reliable solution for your kids. We appreciate the recommendation and are glad it’s helping keep them supported and active with confidence.
