Walking Boot and AFO Alternative - RecoverX Brace
Kevin D.A. (Oregon City, OR, US)
Exceeded my expectations

This brace is easy to put on (after doing it a few times). I’ve worn it for five days and there is already a significant reduction in pain.

I walk my dog 5 miles a day, so I’ve walked 25 miles with the brace on so far. I wasn’t confident that the strap that goes under my shoe would hold up, but it has. It’s a bit scuffed up, but I don’t see any wear or damage to it. It would be nice if this part could be replaced if necessary, but so far so good.

Keeps me on the move!

This brace has helped me so much! I am a horticulturist and walk on a lot of uneven ground which triggers old injuries from sports to flare up. I also wear the brace when I’m out on trails hiking. The only thing I would change or add to this brace is a bit more padding along the inner ankle area. Where I find there is some friction.

That is amazing to hear Joanne! We're so glad you've been able to get back to what you love to do! We'll ship you some C-pads you can add to the ankle area for extra comfort. Thank you again for sharing your experience!

Most amazing brace ever!

This brace is definitely a game changer. I can’t tell you how many braces I have bought. My daughter refused to wear them due to not feeling comfortable in her cleats. The brace has gotten her back out on the field playing 100% and feeling stabilized instead of hesitant.
Thank you so much, TayCo!

What an incredible win to hear! Thank you for sharing, Ginger. We know how tough it can be to find a brace that fits well in cleats and gives the confidence to play full speed. So glad the AthleticX Brace has helped your daughter get back on the field, feeling strong and supported.

The real review about the brace

The brace start off good then, over time. It wears out is meant not to be worn all the time. I had 3 of these braces and it keeps occurring the same problem on the left inside. We got great customer service and they click to fix it by shipping out another product. But the product itself is cheap.\n They sent me a athletic ex. Now that material is good, but the brace is not the same as the other one. If this material was, on the other brace, they would have a winner..

We really appreciate you sharing this honest feedback, Thomas. It’s great to hear our customer service team was able to support you quickly, but we’re sorry to hear the brace didn’t hold up over time. That’s not the experience we aim to deliver. We’re always working to improve, and insights like this make a big difference.
