Easy-On Sports Brace - AthleticX Brace
Robert M. (Ketchum, ID, US)
Good brace

I had surgery on my trimalleolar fracture and syndemosis rupture 7 weeks ago today. As I weaned out of a walking boot, I bought a tayco brace to protect my ankle at work. It does the job well. Pretty comfy for what it is. I think it works best on tennis shoes that do not cover the ankle. Hiking boots or higher cut shoes may be uncomfortable.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience, Robert! We’re glad to hear the AthleticX Brace is helping support and protect your ankle as you transition out of the walking boot. Wishing you continued progress and strength as you keep moving forward. 💪

Life changing support

My 93-year-old grandmother suffered an ankle injury that was inoperable. She has been hobbling around in pain with an unsteady foot for years. We have tried many other ankle braces on the market, including a custom orthopedic leather brace. Nothing helped or gave her the support that she needed. I took a chance on the. Tayco over the shoe brace, and it is the only thing we have found that gives her the support and stability she needs to be able to walk. It has relieved a lot of her pain and discomfort, and given her more confidence in movement. We are ordering a second brace so she will have a back up. We also ordered some extra replacement parts, so we will have them on hand to replace worn pieces. Excellent company to work with, wonderful customer, service, and fast shipping.

Thank you so much for sharing your story, Melissa! It truly means a lot to hear that the brace has given your grandmother the stability, comfort, and confidence she deserves. Wishing her continued comfort and steady steps ahead.

Incomparable support

I have purchased and tried so many support braces and associated products that I have lost count. The Athletics has become an answer to my ankle surgery woes. I can now easily and comfortably walk with the added support I needed without the pain I have become accustomed to in the past. Optimal design and support. I haven’t tried riding my bike yet or running the trails like i had prior to reconstruction surgery on my foot and ankle, but I plan to work up to it while using this support brace. I am very pleased with the design of this product.

Thank you so much for sharing your story, Julia! It means a lot to hear that the AthleticX Brace has provided the support and comfort you were searching for after surgery. Wishing you steady progress as you work your way back to biking and the trails. 💪

After 7 months I finally found something that would help

I fractured my foot 7 months ago and won't bore you with the long journey to here. At first we thought it was a sprain but once diagnosed I tried to wear a boot. It totally threw my back out. I kept searching for something that would create more stability for my foot without instability for the rest of my body. This is perfect. By wearing this, I am hoping to avoid surgery.

Thank you for sharing your story, Denise! Seven months is a long road, and we’re so glad the TRecoverX Brace has given you the stability you were looking for without throwing the rest of your body off balance. Wishing you continued progress and a steady return to the things you love.
