A+++ return to running

I’ve been using this ankle brace after an injury, and it’s been a game-changer for getting back into running. It offers great stability without feeling restrictive, allowing me to move freely with dorsi flexion and plantar flexion while still feeling supported. The brace fits well over whatever trainers I am wearing that day. It’s also comfortable, without the restrictive feel of a compression or lace up brace, while still maintaining stability for the lateral tendon issues I’ve had since my injury. Overall, it’s the perfect balance of support and comfort, and I feel ready to take on more mileage, which I didn’t think would be possible ! Highly recommend it for anyone needing ankle support.

We're so happy to hear your back to running! Thank you for sharing your story, Meg. We appreciate it!

brace fitting

this is about the best brace I have had. Needs a little more padding near ankle bone on inside and where taller side rub my legs. Am working on padding. If u have suggestions they are welcome

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, Bonnie! Hopefully the padding tips we provided helped.

Great foot piece

I bought this because I have Charcot foot disability. My foot is always turning on it's side and I'm walking on my ankle. This helps keep my foot in the upright position and has been a big help.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Dustin! We're so glad you found the help you were looking for with Charcot foot.

Great engineering and workmanship

The TayCo brace is very well thought out, engineered and finished beautifully. I t was comfortable everywhere except where I have a metal plate and seven screws in my ankle from a skiing accident last winter. Not sure it will work for me but would highly recommend for anyone needing ankle support

We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review! Best of luck in your recovery process.
