This has really helped my daughter who has a full and partial tear in her ankle and plays high level soccer!
After a year of Non Weight bearing and finding out my ankle is trash I struggled to do the things I wanted. Physical therapy helped strengthen my foot and ankle, however it was inevitable for my ankle to roll with any misstep. From my 1st time wearing it I noticed a huge Inprovement in stability and found it quite comfortable. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family.

For stability this brace works as or maybe better than my custom in shoe brace. The only thing it doesn't help with is my Achilles pain. Other than that it worked well while I was training my beagles in the field.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Marc! We’re glad to hear the AthleticX Brace provided stability that matched or even exceeded your custom brace and gave you the confidence to stay active while training your beagles in the field. We appreciate your feedback about your Achilles pain as well. Thanks, again!
I had a total ankle replacement/repair 8 weeks ago, now wearing this brace as I rehab and to prevent further injury. Easy to use and very sturdy on the ankle. Highly recommend to allow healing and develop strength. Cant wait to get back to playing tennis, pickleball, volleyball, and basketball ,as well as yardwork!
Best review ever, Angie! We’re thrilled to hear the AthleticX Brace has given you the stability and confidence you need as you recover from your ankle replacement. Wishing you continued success in rehab, and we hope you’re back doing the things you love very soon!
I will soon undergo a full ankle replacement. I am currently bone on bone all the way around, as my surgeon and I discussed the procedure. I mentioned to him that I wished I could do one last hike with my son before I was down for a few months. He said he had a brace that I should try, and he had his staff bring one in for fitting. Boy, has it been a game changer. It has significantly reduced my pain and increased my confidence, especially in my turns. It provides wonderful support, and I have hiked in it comfortably. I am looking forward to that 45-mile backpacking trip with my son before I get my ankle replaced.
Thank you for the TayCo brace
Thank you for sharing your story, Paul! We’re thrilled to hear the AthleticX Brace has reduced your pain, given you more confidence on the trail, and is helping make that 45-mile backpacking trip with your son possible before surgery. We wish you an incredible hike and a smooth recovery when it’s time for your ankle replacement.
Great support and flexibility. Well constructed. Highly recommend the brace for either daily support or recovery.
Thank you for sharing, David! We’re so glad to hear the RecoverX Brace has provided the support and flexibility you were looking for. We appreciate your recommendation and are thrilled it’s helping with both daily support and recovery.
This is a fantastic brace. Easy to apply to gym shoe and adjusts quickly. I e used with both bars in and top one removed. Minimal increase in pain with increased range of motion. Highly recommend this brace for peroneal tendon recovery
Thank you for sharing your experience, Sherri! We’re so glad to hear the RecoverX Brace has been easy to use and that the adjustable support has helped you progress through your peroneal tendon recovery with minimal pain. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are grateful to be part of your recovery journey.
Much better for recovery than the boot the ortho provides. Enhances mobility and stability. So happy I ordered one. Definitely feels like my recovery is progressing much better and I’m walking with a much more normal gait.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Cheryl! Knowing the RecoverX Brace is helping you feel more confident in your recovery means a lot to us. We appreciate your support and are glad you’re getting back to doing more with confidence.
This brace is the absolute best brace I’ve found in the past year.
I have a feeling it’ll still be the best one in the rest of this year and next!
Thank you for the fantastic review, Bruce! We’re thrilled to hear the AthleticX Brace has been the best brace you’ve found. Knowing it’s become your go-to for the long haul means a lot to us.
I didn't think it was going to make a big difference but I was wrong. I have been able to walk and move around with the RecoverX brace with a lot less pain. I have been diagnosed with Osteoarthritis in both my ankles and had difficulty walking. I'm up to the point where I'm looking towards ankle replacement surgery. The braces have made a difference for me.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Louis! We’re so glad to hear the RecoverX Brace has helped reduce your pain and made walking easier despite the challenges of ankle osteoarthritis. We truly appreciate your feedback and wish you the very best as you continue your journey toward better mobility.
After a year of considering the tayco brace, I finally purchased one and I’m very happy with it. I’ve had it for less than a week and so far I’ve used it 3 times to help my walking. It has stabilized my severe ankle roll by at least 50%. I’m now more confident that I can walk without the risk of falling from the debilitating ankle roll I have suffered with for years.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Joseph! We’re thrilled to hear the AthleticX Brace has already helped improve your stability and given you more confidence while walking. We appreciate your trust after a year of considering it, and we’re excited to be part of helping you stay active with greater confidence.
The Walking Boot Recovery X has been an excellent device to help recover from an ankle fracture and sprain. I am able to walk without a hip hike. I was on crutches and scooter for awhile but the brace allowed me to walk short distances (as I was permitted). I wear it now, walking without assistant device for whatever distance I need to go.
Comfortable and breathes.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Pat! We're thrilled to hear the RecoverX Brace provided a comfortable alternative to a walking boot and helped you transition from crutches to walking with confidence. We appreciate your support and are so glad the brace has been part of your recovery journey.
These braces help stabilize my ankles wonderfully and are comfortable to wear. My only frustration is getting the Velcro straps from sticking to themselves when putting the braces on.
Thank you for sharing your experience, George! We’re glad to hear the RecoverX Brace has provided the support and stability you were looking for. We appreciate your feedback and are grateful you chose TayCo Brace to help you get back to doing more with confidence.
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
Thank you so much for sharing your journey, Rick! We’re thrilled to hear the RecoverX Brace has given you the stability and confidence you needed as you transition out of your walking boot after such an extensive recovery. Your story is exactly why we do what we do, and we’re grateful you chose TayCo Brace to be part of your journey back to hiking, beach walks, and the activities you love.
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.
Thank you for sharing your story! We’re so glad the RecoverX Brace provided the support and confidence you needed to transition out of your walking boot and get back to work and everyday activities. We also appreciate your thoughtful feedback about the padding, and we’re grateful you chose TayCo Brace to be part of your recovery journey.
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.
My son used this only once for football practice because he ended up feeling more pain with it on then without it. I wish I can return it and get out money back
Update : Company reached out and I was able to return brace. Customer service representatives go above and beyond to help.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Gabriela. We’re sorry to hear the brace did not provide the relief your son was hoping for and that he experienced increased discomfort during practice. Every injury, athlete, and stage of recovery is different, and while TayCo Brace helps many people stay active with greater stability, we understand it may not be the right solution for everyone. Our team will be reaching out directly to help facilitate a return and make sure you’re taken care of. We appreciate you giving the AthleticX Brace a try.
Probably the best brace I've bought for my kids, very durable and comfortable. Highly recommend
Thank you for the great review, Samisoni! We’re thrilled to hear the AthleticX Brace has been durable, comfortable, and a reliable solution for your kids. We appreciate the recommendation and are glad it’s helping keep them supported and active with confidence.
It fits great!! It makes getting around so much easier. I feel like I am getting back to my normal life.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Brandy! We’re thrilled to hear the brace fits great and is making it easier to get around. We appreciate your support and wish you continued success on your journey forward.
Does the job
Thank you, Deborah! We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.
My husband has been wearing an arizona brace the last several years. While it reduces pain, it causes uneven gait and requires sizing up shoes which then result in tripping. This is a fantastic option with ankle freedom to bend and flex with side support. It fits over a properly sized shoe enhancing smooth gait and not stressing hips and knees. It's just what we have been looking for over several years.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Michele! We’re thrilled to hear the brace provided the support your husband needed while allowing a more natural, comfortable gait. We appreciate your support and are glad you found the solution you’d been searching for.
I bought this brace after having surgery and being told it is what it is. I 100 percent believe that it has helped my way of life and would recommend it to any one. It is a little pricey but would have bought a couple if I could have afforded them
Thank you for sharing your review, William! We’re thrilled to hear the brace has helped improve your quality of life after such a significant injury and surgery. We appreciate your recommendation and are honored to be part of your journey back to doing more with confidence.
It works extremely well
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Adam! We're thrilled to hear that the RecoverX Brace works so well for you.
