Easy-On Sports Brace - AthleticX Brace
Ron K. (Rose Hill, KS, US)
Great product & exceptional value

Recovering from tears in peroneal tendons in my ankle, and PRP injection. PT put me in a Breg lace/strap brace for use when golfing or walking on uneven surfaces, which was very helpful. After several hours, though, it was pretty uncomfortable. I saw this brace on FB multiple times, and finally looked into it. Reviews and videos looked good, price was very affordable compared to custom orthotics, so I gave it a try. I really was thrilled. Stability is great, while maintaining up and down ankle movement. After a round of golf, I hardly know it's there. My wife is a PT, and was impressed, as well. I would highly recommend this product.

Walking Boot and AFO Alternative - RecoverX Brace
Gus M. (Glenview, IL, US)
walking boot

I,m wearing it every day, getting used to it. My situation is different because I have a dropped foot with ankle and foot fusion. Takes time to put on. Customer service
Is excellent. The only think I noticed is band one and two are mislabeled and written in error on the small booklet. Same with band tree and four.
Other than that everything is good.

Easy-On Sports Brace - AthleticX Brace
Rex M. (Clinton, NC, US)
Ankle Brace

I actually purchased this brace for my sister. She had an ankle replacement about five years ago and has gotten along well with it until recently when she began to feel pain in her ankle and foot. She suffers from several other issues, including RA. She has periodically worn a molded boot in hopes of relieving some of the pain. She has worn the new brace for approximately 1 - 2 weeks and says it’s much more comfortable and she has commented that it fits nicely and is much more comfortable. Most of her pain has subsided and we pray that will continue!

Thank you for sharing, Rex! We’re so glad your sister has found the AthleticX Brace comfortable and supportive, and that she’s already experiencing some relief. Thank you for sharing her experience, and we hope she continues to feel more comfortable and confident with each wear!

Rugged Outdoors Gear - CombatX Brace
William W. (Anchorage, AK, US)

I have only worn the brace for a couple of days. Unfortunately, I have noticed no difference between wearing it and not wearing it. I don't know if it is because of the type of boot that I wear, but I feel no additional support.
I am going to try it with a lighter shoe and see if that makes a difference.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, William. We’d like to make sure you’re getting the support you should from the brace, so our team will reach out to provide some personalized fitting support and help troubleshoot the fit with your footwear.
