Tayco RecoverX Brace

I found the Tayco RecoverX brace provided the stability of a walking boot and of a bulky ankle brace I'd worn previous to retiring as a staff RN. It's easy to use and wear with an orthopedic walking shoe of my choice and since it goes over my shoe it creates a level walking surface for both feet which eliminated the stress on my hips and knees felt when the brace or boot didn't match the height of my other shoe. Now I can walk the grocery or big box stores without pain and leave the electric carts to others. I highly recommend trying theTayCo RecoverX brace. My injury was a ruptured plantar fascia that created ankle pain with much walking and orthopedic inserts were unable to correct it. As I aged and lost muscle the pain shifted to my knee, which also showed no structural damage. The search to improve my quality of life led me to this brace

Laurie, being able to walk through the grocery store without pain or relying on an electric cart is a huge win! We're so glad the RecoverX Brace is providing the stability you need while allowing you to wear your own shoes and avoid the discomfort of uneven footwear. Thanks for sharing your journey and for recommending us to others!

Peace of mind

3 months post trimalleolar fracture with dislocation. My husband recently broke his foot so I am back to farm chores sooner than expected. This brace fits well, gives my ankle freedom of movement to walk normally but supports lateral movement to prevent rolling ankle on slippery, uneven ground. It’s a life saver.

Awesome brace, awesome company!

I can’t say enough about the brace. I like how you can put it in a fixed position or have some dorsiflexion and plantar flexion. Moreso, customer service was amazing, answering all my questions before purchaser and after.. Hannah was very helpful in all my Facebook messages!

Thanks for the kind words about both the RecoverX Brace and our team! We're glad you're enjoying the versatility of the adjustable hinge settings, and we'll be sure to pass along your shoutout to Hannah.

best purchase for a brace!

I shattered my ankle and lower leg 19 years ago. After 4 surgeries, I am not able to stand on it for a period of time without paying for it later but this brace is the best purchase I have made. I was on my feet all day and wore it all day, when I took it off, there was no pain that night.
Thank you for making something that is comfortable, easy to put on and able to wear with all my shoes.

Being on your feet all day without paying for it later is a huge win, Samantha! After everything you've been through with your ankle, we're thrilled the RecoverX Brace is helping you stay comfortable and active. Thanks for sharing your experience and for trusting us to help you keep moving!

Best ankle brace ever!

I recently twisted my left ankle stepping off of my tractor and had to use an air boot to stabilize my ankle. After I finished with the air boot I wanted something I could use with my daily boots and found the Tayco Combat X ankle brace. I have been wearing it everyday since I received it and fits and works perfect! This is by far the best ankle brace I have ever used. I broke my right ankle when I was a teenager and have had issues with it ever since. I have tried all sorts of ankle braces over the years but the Tayco Combat X brace reduces inversion and eversion (side to side movement) better than anything I have ever tried. It is slim in design and comfortable against your ankle with memory foam padding on both sides of the brace. Most braces become uncomfortable after prolonged use but I can wear the Combat X brace all day with no issues.
Most people do not even realize I am wearing an ankle brace it blends in so well with my boot. I have had several people say they thought it was just a part of my boot!
I like it so well I planning to get another one for my right ankle!
I rarely write reviews on products but I felt compelled to do so with hopes that it may help someone else’s quality of life.
Thanks Tayco for making a great product!

Heath, hearing that the CombatX Brace is the best ankle brace you've ever used means a lot, especially after all the others you've tried! We're glad it's giving you the stability and all-day comfort you need while fitting seamlessly with your everyday boots. Thanks for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review and helping others discover a solution that could make a difference in their lives!
