Patrick Desmond here. I have been a long time user of TayCo Braces, I have the Custom External AFO Brace for both ankles. I have irreparably damaged ankles where no manner of surgery, including ankle replacement, would be effective. I was recommended TayCo Braces several years ago by my Podiatrist and Ortho. The braces have totally changed my life - enhancing my quality of life in a way I could not have imagined possible. Where before, I had very limited mobility and constant pain, I am now, with the TayCo Braces, able to lead a very comfortable life. I walk, golf, travel and am quite active. I wear the Braces, all day - every day, and as a result, I have significantly improved my mobility and I am essentially pain free. I have even bought additional duplicate braces, so I can rotate them to increase their longevity. They wear well and re easy on and easy off, are very comfortable and perform as advertised. The TayCo support staff is professional in every regard - responsive, helpful and courteous. Totally professional product, supported by a totally professional staff.
