TayCo team,
I wanted to first say thank you for creating such an incredible ankle brace! You may not ever see the results, but please know that I'm a big fan!
I tore a tendon on the inside of my ankle jogging one morning several years ago and actually caused my arch to collapse. The doctors put me in a boot with hopes it would heal vs surgery.
Fast forward 6 years later, the damage grew and basically was rolling off of my ankle. So I went through major surgery to rebuild the 2 main tendons on the inside of my foot, rebuild the achilles tendon, reposition my foot back where it should set and clean out calcium buildup and other joint issues. Quite a journey but needed done before I eventually rolled off my foot and would have to fuze it all together.
I'm 58years old and never thought I would be in this position because I've been athletic most of my life. It was just a fluke that the tendon snapped while I was running and had to go under surgery to correct the overall damage.
That was 4 months ago. I transitioned to the big walking boot and all was going great so I ordered your boot to help with the transition out of the boot. It's amazing!
I met with my doctor today, she's never seen the boot but approved the use and transition out of the main boot to just the walking shoe. This will help on longer journeys, hiking or beach walks too.
All in all, the fit is incredible and the stability it provides is exactly what I needed. I'm adding a couple of photos to see my journey but please know that you ah e a great product and my only wish is that I found it many years ago vs makeshift boots or braces.
Thanks again,
Rick
The walking boot I was given after ORIF surgery for a bimalleolar fracture was heavy, awkward and uncomfortable. I bought the TayCo RecoverX Brace as a lighter alternative, and then asked the surgeon if I could ditch the torture boot and replace it with the RecoverX brace. (Which, voila! , I then pulled out of my bag and handed to him) He was completely on board right away and was impressed that rather than just complaining, I had found an effective and safe alternative on my own.
I wear a lace up brace under my shoe in addition to the TayCo brace sometimes, but to protect sensitive surgical scars rather than for lack of stability. If I had one suggestion, it would be to add more and softer padding at the ankle.
The TayCo brace has given me great ankle support for return to work, starting weight bearing, walking, climbing and descending stairs. I'm sure all would have been more difficult with the walking boot. Hoping to have made enough progress to remove the top pins by the end of the month.
I use it for golf and walking my only thought is the racket strap on bottom is how long will it last before it brakes
Thank you for sharing your experience, Ron! We’re glad to hear the AthleticX Brace is providing the stability you need for golf and walking. Regarding the stirrup strap, it’s reinforced with Kevlar to withstand repeated use under your shoe, and it’s designed to be one of the most durable components of the brace. We appreciate your feedback and are confident it will continue supporting you for many rounds ahead!
So far so good. Comfortable to use.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Huy! We're glad you're finding the AthleticX Brace comfortable.
It is definitely helpful in keeping my ankle stable. I have posterior tibial tendinitis and if I step just wrong it causes a shooting pain up my ankle and irritates it more. I got this brace to wear when I go out and about to keep me more aware and stable. I do not wear it in the house.
I wear a women’s size 9 even though my foot measures as an 8.5. I bought the medium brace (women’s 9-11). I think it might be just a tad on the loose side for ankle stability but I think the small would have been too small.
Overall it is helpful. Maybe not as helpful as I would have hoped but still worth it.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, Patty! We’re glad to hear the RecoverX Brace has helped provide more stability and confidence while managing your posterior tibial tendinitis. We appreciate your honest feedback on the fit and support level, and we’re happy to hear it has still been a worthwhile addition to your recovery journey. Wishing you continued stability and comfort as you get back to the things you love.
