Tired of ankle supports that don't deliver? Stop settling for temporary solutions, and take control of your recovery with our off-the-shelf, pre-fabricated, and custom manufactured options that give you the comfort and stability to function while recovering from or living with chronic ankle and hindfoot injuries.
The left-ankle TayCo brace fit my "clod-hopper" work shoes perfectly. I no longer limp after switching from a knee-high brace (another brand) that included a "shoe", so no longer have hip and knee problems with my other leg.
Used the brace to get back on the field 10 days post grade 2 ankle sprain. Never felt any pain, played normally and brace never got in the way. Highly recommend
After many years of wearing an “in the shoe ankle brace”, I decided to try the Tayco Recover X Brace, after talking to the representative at Tayco.
I am able to finally enjoy the comfort of my shoes and very happy with my purchase. Great quality and a durable brace. Thanks Tayco

Thank you for the great review, Daniel! We’re so glad the RecoverX Brace has brought you comfort and a better fit with your shoes. Appreciate your kind words and support!
Since this brace isn’t technically ’for’ my condition, I wanted to share my experience with anyone who may be unsure. I’m actually living on disability, so I understand that $200 is a big commitment for some.
First off, a bit of background. I suffered a stroke four years ago that left me with spastic hemiplegia in my right side. Because of this, my right foot supinates. I saw ‘foot drop’ in the list of conditions this device was intended for but while going through the reviews I saw the magic ‘s’ word and decided to give it a shot… and I’m so glad I did.
The first brace I tried was your typical fixed AFO. After a few months I upgraded to one with an articulated ankle, which was great for maintaining muscle but both of them went inside the shoe and the platform covered my entire sole limiting the tactile information passed to my brain. Because of this I tried the SaeboStep. This offered me the option of wearing it with any shoe and gave me the tactile sensation that my brain craved. However it had limited range of motion and because it hooked to anchors installed in the eyeholes on the tops of a given shoe it would pull my toes to the end. Then I discovered this brace.
Not only can I wear several shoe types with it - my preference is a pair of barefoot style shoes - it offers the tactical sensation I’m looking for. Because it holds the back of my foot it allows for foot flexibility making walking backwards, up and down stairs and even sideways much easier. I’ve spent the last four years trying every device I can find and I can assure you that this is my favorite so far. It’s lightweight, comfortable and very functional. Maybe not the easiest to don and doff one-handed but as I mentioned above, this device isn’t exactly intended for my condition.
I cannot tell you how glad I am that I tried this device. ‘Life-changing’ is not an exaggeration by any means.
