Easy-On Sports Brace - AthleticX Brace
Marc B. (Fairview Park, OH, US)
Athletic X

For stability this brace works as or maybe better than my custom in shoe brace. The only thing it doesn't help with is my Achilles pain. Other than that it worked well while I was training my beagles in the field.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Marc! We’re glad to hear the AthleticX Brace provided stability that matched or even exceeded your custom brace and gave you the confidence to stay active while training your beagles in the field. We appreciate your feedback about your Achilles pain as well. Thanks, again!

Angie (Advance, NC, US)
Best brace ever

I had a total ankle replacement/repair 8 weeks ago, now wearing this brace as I rehab and to prevent further injury. Easy to use and very sturdy on the ankle. Highly recommend to allow healing and develop strength. Cant wait to get back to playing tennis, pickleball, volleyball, and basketball ,as well as yardwork!

Best review ever, Angie! We’re thrilled to hear the AthleticX Brace has given you the stability and confidence you need as you recover from your ankle replacement. Wishing you continued success in rehab, and we hope you’re back doing the things you love very soon!

Easy-On Sports Brace - AthleticX Brace
Paul j.I. (Marble Falls, TX, US)
Ankle Replacement Soon

I will soon undergo a full ankle replacement. I am currently bone on bone all the way around, as my surgeon and I discussed the procedure. I mentioned to him that I wished I could do one last hike with my son before I was down for a few months. He said he had a brace that I should try, and he had his staff bring one in for fitting. Boy, has it been a game changer. It has significantly reduced my pain and increased my confidence, especially in my turns. It provides wonderful support, and I have hiked in it comfortably. I am looking forward to that 45-mile backpacking trip with my son before I get my ankle replaced.
Thank you for the TayCo brace

Thank you for sharing your story, Paul! We’re thrilled to hear the AthleticX Brace has reduced your pain, given you more confidence on the trail, and is helping make that 45-mile backpacking trip with your son possible before surgery. We wish you an incredible hike and a smooth recovery when it’s time for your ankle replacement.
