Reasonably comfortable, much better than the boots. Provides great lateral support for sprains

I've tried every ankle brace I can find. This is without a doubt the best!!

Very easy to put on and take off! Fits all my shoes and boots, I don’t need to squash a lace up brace in the shoe. Works great with a taped ankle for extra support. Much more flexible front-to back than a lace-up brace.

This brace allows the foot to move up & down for walking but prevents sideway collapse. Fitting to the shoe verses to the foot is better allowing easy on and off of the same shoes normally worn.

Walking Boot and AFO Alternative - RecoverX Brace

I broke my ankle 3.5 months ago and was non weight bearing for a good portion of that time. Now that I'm able to begin walking and switching between a boot and my shoe, the boot that the doctor gave me was really starting to agitate my foot. I felt that it was doing more harm than good. My foot felt a lot better in a shoe, but my ankle needed some extra support. I was doing a lot of online research for other options when I found this Tayco AthleticX Brace. I went with the Athletic Brace because I felt that I would like the ability of it to fit over hiking boots, etc. It gives my ankle enough extra support that I'm completely comfortable walking on uneven ground in campgrounds, my yard, etc. With just a shoe, my ankle was swelling like crazy and getting sore. With this brace, the swelling is almost gone and soreness is at a minimum. I'm not to the point of doing long hikes, but I'm sure it'll be perfect for that once I am healed enough!

Walking Boot and AFO Alternative - RecoverX Brace

This product is well made, supportive, and easy to put on and take off. It seems sturdy.

As a 45-year-old avid pickleball player, I thought my playing days were over after a bad ankle injury. I had to stop playing and even walking comfortably was a challenge. But then I discovered the TayCo AthleticX Brace. This brace has been a total game-changer for me. It fits right over my athletic shoes and provides incredible support without restricting my movement. Since wearing it, I’ve not only returned to the court but I’m back competing in tournaments again! My ankle feels stable and secure, and I have the confidence to move like I did before the injury. This brace has given me my game—and my joy—back!

TAYCO seems to care for its customers. Brace arrived quickly as promised with easy reference guides and video help, if preferred.

The brace fit perfectly, was easy to fit, I did it myself. I’ll be wearing it for six weeks to restore the alignment of my foot and ankle. The swelling in my began yo resolve within 48 hours. In addition, the idea of sending pix to verify proper fit is spot on!!!

I have chronic ankle instability, but still want to be active. After trying multiple ankle braces on the market, none of them gave me the support I needed to hike and play with my family. The AthleticX from TayCo is a complete game changer. The brace is super comfortable, lightweight and really easy to put on. I am able to walk, hike and run with ease now! Thank you so much!

I sprained my ankle while trail running and thankfully found this brace. It is the most supportive brace I've ever worn but is still super comfortable. I ran a trail race with it last weekend!

Good compression sock with the right amount of tightness for me. Like the styling too

I wore the previous version of this brace, and this one is SO much better. It's much lower profile and I barely can tell I'm wearing it, but yet I still have incredible support

Overall, quite good. Far lighter, more comfortable, and less cumbersome than the Aircast I used before. The pad on the inside was pressing on my ankle, so I had to trim that back a bit. The velcro seems unnecessarily complicated (and long, in most cases). Might be easier to just use one piece of double-sided velcro (hook on one side, loop on the other).

The recovery brace has been wonderful. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. It was very easy and quick to put on over my shoe. The best thing I like about the recovery brace is that nothing goes in your shoe with your foot, its all outside your shoe. Its light weight and easy to wear all day. It adds support to my arch area and is helping my tendon to heal. Great brace…. Thanks

The brace works well and I love being able to wear both shoes. My old walking boot created hip pain due to an unsteady gait. I found the enclosed instructions vague (how to adjust the hinge), but found an informative video instruction to view. One suggestion I would make is to include extra foam pieces. I needed to cushion an area under a buckle.

My issue is the straps on the brace. They are not user friendly. The one on my new brace are too long and cutting them removes the sticky parts. I am going to order some shorter braces from Amazon when I can.One has no square metal anchor and I must just wrap it around the ankle. Also the excess part snags long pants. I am sure this is an easy fix, but I have macular degeneration and cannot see the straps easily and am working my feel somewhat. I have not done the adjustments for the motion range yet as again I cannot see well, so I am waiting for my son to come help me. Otherwise, I wam VERY impressed with this brace. I have about 5 braces. 4 from Amazon and one custom made which do not work. Your brace I can wear with my own shoes. My doctor was very impressed and spoke about the brace to all his online doctor friends. The work is spreading about this brace. I loved the fact that any shoe will work, it is very lightweight and does not chafe or rub like someothers. Getting it on seem the only issue for me as I live alone and have no help. Reaching it is also difficult as I have some back issues also. I wish it fit a bit deeper from heel to toe area. I hope I ordered the right size. How would I know, please? I was hoping Medicare Advantage Insurance I have would cover the cost, but that is unlikely from my communication and the doctors efforts, so I just put it on a new credit card myself. I am traveling out of the country next month and I believe this will allow me to enjoy my trip and get around so much easier so I will not get left behind like some other outtings. Any advice on what I have mentioned would be appreciated. Oh,how can I order a replacemen strap that goes under the shoe as I see that will get a lot of wear and tear and do not want a broken strap while on my trip. Know you product will help many people and my doctor is spreading the words for you. Thank you. Sincerely, Elizabeth Fiscus [****]

After 8 years and as many surgeries in and out of a walking boot ( mostly in) to have the freedom to walk in shoes on both feet is beyond amazing. I’m now working with a physical therapy doctor and I see hiking in my future!

A wonderful invention to remedy the extreme pain with a foot injury. AWESOME

I have an ankle that is going to require a fuse. I broke it several years ago and now it is arthritic. I am using this brace to help me get in shape for the fusion. When I wear there is almost 0 pain. I ma planning to show this brace to my surgeon and my Podiatrist.

Fit me very well

After years of trying different braces that just didn't work for me (even had custom one made) I tried this one and I'm happy to say it works with not pain, I'm walking straight and easy to use.

Works great. I have a 7 month old unfused ankle fracture, this definitely gives me the support I need, until it heals or I have surgery.
