Bought 2nd brace for other ankle

My son struggled with sprained ankles during last year's basketball season. I bought him a right ankle brace this season to prevent sprains. So far, so good! Unfortunately now he sprained his other ankle, so I had to quickly order him the left brace as well, so now he's sporting both braces on each ankle, but seems to prevent any more sprains, so thank you that he can keep playing!

Thanks so much for sharing, Mary! We're sorry to hear your son sprained his other ankle, but we're glad his AthleticX Braces are keeping him supported and playing. Wishing him a strong rest of the basketball season!

Not happy

I ordered a replacement strap for an athletic X brace strap that goes over the top of the shoe. The strap is half the length of the original. It does not work. I called and left a message. No response I’d appreciate hearing from you.

Excellent support post severe injury

I suffered a severe injury to my ankle (comminuted fractures to Talus, Navicular, Cuboid, Calcaneus, and neck fracture to the Fibula) with tendon and nerve injuries and had progressed from a wheelchair through a walking boot. Unfortunately, I still needed support to walk and was recommended to use an ankle brace with a cane by my surgeon. I ended up locating the AthleticX by searching online for something on the outside of the shoe as the inside the shoe was too bulky with the swelling in my foot. I chose this one because I didn't feel like I needed the full leg support of the other variants and wanted to get back to as much activity as possible. I have used it for about 2 -1/2 months now and couldn’t be more pleased. It’s been a tremendous help in my mobility. There is a noticeable difference for me with and without the brace from a pain management standpoint. The AthleticX brace provides ample support where my pain is the most severe in the sub-talar joint and significantly helps with my pain levels, although swelling is still a problem even with the brace. I can last a full day on my feet with the brace and about an hour without it before the joint pain becomes an issue. The only thing I would change is to have more padding in the ankle area due to the atrophy in my calf. I would absolutely purchase again and feel blessed to have it for my treatment.

Thank you so much for sharing your story and for trusting TayCo Brace during such a challenging recovery, Andy. We’re truly glad to hear the AthleticX Brace has helped restore your mobility, manage pain, and keep you on your feet throughout the day. Wishing you continued strength and progress as you get back to the activities you love.

Not what expected

The brace was not what I expected and it doesn’t work for me.

Thanks for sharing your feedback, Kathleen. We’re sorry to hear the brace wasn’t the right fit for your needs. Every injury and recovery path is different, and what works well for some may not be ideal for others. If you’re open to it, our team would be happy to learn more about your situation and help explore fit adjustments, alternative options, or next steps. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to customer support so we can try to make this right.

Athlete daughter loves this brace.

My daughter is very active, will not pause a moment for pain, so we knew it was bad when she said she couldn't go to practice.
Varsity High school and travel team pitcher, currently being recruted. This was poor timing for shin splints to show up, but level 3 on an MRI they did (level 4 is stress fracture). We had to act quick. After just one day she was in love with this brace that allowed her to play an entire "rec-league" basketball game. Now my 14 yr old athletic son wants one as well cause it looks "sick". Looking forward to the stability it provides.

Thank you for the wonderful review, Corina! We’re so glad your daughter is feeling supported and able to stay on the court safely with the AthleticX Brace. It’s great to hear she felt the difference after just one day, especially during such an important season for her. We’re wishing her a smooth recovery and a strong year ahead. Hopefully your son doesn't end up needing one, but we'll be here if he does :)
