bruce b. (Olathe, KS, US)
great support

helped with ankle/heel problems. works well with good pair of athletic shoes. directions were clear and helpful. it does take a little patience to fit it , but once it is paired to favorite shoe, it is easy to use.

Thank you for sharing, Bruce! We’re glad to hear the AthleticX Brace is providing the support you need for your ankle and heel, and that it pairs well with your athletic shoes. Once it’s dialed in, it really does become easy to use. Wishing you continued comfort and stability as you stay active!

Randall F. (Houghton, MI, US)
Bad ankle

My ankle is bone-on-bone. The brace hasn’t helped much, nor did I have much hope it would. Not the fault of the brace.

Thanks for giving it a try, Randall. With a bone-on-bone ankle, we understand how challenging that level of pain and limitation can be. While the AthleticX Brace is designed to provide stability and help prevent rolling, there are cases where additional medical interventions may be needed. Wishing you the best as you continue to find the right solution.

God sent

I've had three back surgeries which it has completely ruined my lateral control in my right foot unable to walk on a hill without it folding under.. I've tried many braces in the past, but none of them gave me the support and movement that this guy has. 10+ stars highly recommend if you have ankle problems.

Wow, thank you so much for sharing this, Mark! Three back surgeries and the challenges that come with them ... we can only imagine how much that has impacted your daily life, and we're truly moved to hear that our brace has made such a difference. We're rooting for you every step of the way!

Ankle tendon repair recovery

I had reconstructive tendon surgery in my ankle two months ago. With this brace on, I am able to golf with no issues. Extreme lateral and torsional stability with this brace. Absolutely no limitation to “accelerator pedal“ movement, but I am unable to roll.

Thank you for sharing your recovery experience, Andrew! We’re so glad to hear the AthleticX Brace is giving you the stability you need while still allowing natural movement on the course. Wishing you many more confident rounds of golf ahead.

Pete W. (Kent, OH, US)
I have drop foot from a stroke so this helped me walk without assistance.

I would change 1 thing. Multiple sections of Velcro straps are unnecessary. One strap for each section would suffice

Thank you for sharing, Pete! We're truly glad the brace has helped you walk more independently after your stroke. We also appreciate the feedback on the Velcro straps and will absolutely keep that in mind as we work to improve. Wishing you continued progress in your recovery!
