Not worth the price

This brace is cheaply made. The quality of the product and materials used to make the brace are plastics that could easily bend and break. This brace is too expensive for the price. The brace is probably worth only 50% of the price (at most). Brace is not good for neurological conditions at all. This is an athletic brace for someone that can run and move about. I do not recommend for patients that have had strokes, spinal cord injuries, or anything of that nature because the brace isn’t sturdy enough or made to withstand the pressure that will be put on it. You will still need a customized AFO to use with it. Therefore, the is no use for the brace. I give this brace 2 stars because it’s not worth the price at all. If it was decently priced, then maybe I wouldn’t scored it higher, but I do not recommend.

Thank you for your feedback, Kristy. While our braces are built with durable, reinforced materials and work well for many individuals, we understand it may not be the right fit for every condition.

Eastern to walk in and does not torque your hips

TayCo Brace

I have been dealing with drop foot for the last 5 years. The brace that I've been using is built into my shoe. The TayCo brace allows me the opportunity to wear any foot wear I want!! It's also very easy to put on and adjust. Thanks so much!

Thank you for sharing your story, Erin! We appreciate it, and we’re so glad the RecoverX Brace is giving you both the support and the freedom to wear the footwear you choose.

I sprained my ankle playing tennis. The brace was shipped in a timely fashion…fits good and easy to put and off. The over the shoe design is so much better than the one I’ve been wearing that didn’t fit well with my shoes. Because of the support I think they are going to help me get back to court sooner.

Thanks for sharing your experience, George! Wishing you a smooth recovery and a strong return to the tennis court. 💪
