Thank you for taking the time to share your review, Polly! We’re thrilled to hear that you found the brace lightweight, comfortable, and easy to use. That’s exactly what we aim for!
It is pricey, but we like that it fits on the outside of my daughter’s street shoes. Provides great ankle support but allows more normal movement for walking.
Thanks so much for the 5-star review, Jesse! We’re glad to hear the brace is giving your daughter the support she needs—without limiting her mobility. And yes, the over-the-shoe design is a game-changer! We truly appreciate your feedback.
Poor Customer Service and Product. Not recommended.
Hi, Michael - We’re sorry to hear this, as this certainly doesn’t live up to either our customer service nor product standards. Your experience is important to us, and we want to make things right. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will continue to troubleshoot with you to improve your experience.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Thomas! We’re glad you found value in the outside-the-shoe design — it’s one of the key features that sets the AthleticX Brace apart by allowing for stability and support without needing to remove your footwear. We truly appreciate your input and will continue working to deliver even more value to our customers.
