Ankle Brace & Pronation - Supination

I have two Tayco ankle braces - the sport model and the rehab model. The rehab model provides more support, but the sport model is easier to wear. However, both braces are not able to correct for pronation or supination problems. Have you ever considered inserts to help with this? Thank you! William Root

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, William! We also appreciate the feedback and our customer service team will follow-up with ideas to help provide you greater support.

confidence builder

I bought this for my wife who broke her ankle and was in a boot. The change to the TayCo athletic brace has given her a whole new outlook. With crutches she is re-learning how to walk. Wearing her own sneakers is a huge game changer. Thank you.

We’re so glad to hear this has been such a confidence booster for your wife. Being able to transition out of the boot and back into her own shoes is a big step, and we’re thrilled the AthleticX Brace has made such a difference in her recovery. Thank you for sharing her story, Olaf! Wishing her the best.

Worked very well for the purpose of getting the player back on the field!

Great product that helped get our son back on the field much faster! We will highly recommend to anyone should they need one! Thank you!

Thanks so much for sharing, Tom! We’re thrilled to hear your son was able to get back on the field faster with the AthleticX Brace. 💪

Ankle brace

Thought it might be heavy & cumbersome, but was surprisingly light & comfortable, but still offered support. Would recommend for light injuries or recovery

Thank you, Mia! We’re glad to hear the brace felt lighter and more comfortable than expected while still providing the support you needed. We appreciate your recommendation and wish you continued progress in your recovery!

Good brace in general

My specific problem was not addressed completely by the brace but it is well-made and provides good stability.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and review, John!
