This brace is easy to put on (after doing it a few times). I’ve worn it for five days and there is already a significant reduction in pain.
I walk my dog 5 miles a day, so I’ve walked 25 miles with the brace on so far. I wasn’t confident that the strap that goes under my shoe would hold up, but it has. It’s a bit scuffed up, but I don’t see any wear or damage to it. It would be nice if this part could be replaced if necessary, but so far so good.
This brace has helped me so much! I am a horticulturist and walk on a lot of uneven ground which triggers old injuries from sports to flare up. I also wear the brace when I’m out on trails hiking. The only thing I would change or add to this brace is a bit more padding along the inner ankle area. Where I find there is some friction.
That is amazing to hear Joanne! We're so glad you've been able to get back to what you love to do! We'll ship you some C-pads you can add to the ankle area for extra comfort. Thank you again for sharing your experience!
I have not received the second order for comparison So far I am pleased. Where is second order?
This brace is definitely a game changer. I can’t tell you how many braces I have bought. My daughter refused to wear them due to not feeling comfortable in her cleats. The brace has gotten her back out on the field playing 100% and feeling stabilized instead of hesitant.
Thank you so much, TayCo!
What an incredible win to hear! Thank you for sharing, Ginger. We know how tough it can be to find a brace that fits well in cleats and gives the confidence to play full speed. So glad the AthleticX Brace has helped your daughter get back on the field, feeling strong and supported.
The brace start off good then, over time. It wears out is meant not to be worn all the time. I had 3 of these braces and it keeps occurring the same problem on the left inside. We got great customer service and they click to fix it by shipping out another product. But the product itself is cheap.\n They sent me a athletic ex. Now that material is good, but the brace is not the same as the other one. If this material was, on the other brace, they would have a winner..
We really appreciate you sharing this honest feedback, Thomas. It’s great to hear our customer service team was able to support you quickly, but we’re sorry to hear the brace didn’t hold up over time. That’s not the experience we aim to deliver. We’re always working to improve, and insights like this make a big difference.
This is just what I needed for a return to sports after Achilles surgery. The one weak link, or so it seems to me, is the strap that goes under the shoe. It appears to me this would be a vulnerable spot if you were on a sidewalk, pavement or other hard surface. You need a shoe without a completely flat sole so this strap isn't hitting the ground with every step. All of my athletic shoes did have flat soles, but ones with a raised portion for the strap were easy enough to find.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a thoughtful review, Lance. And welcome back to sports! The strap that goes underneath the shoe is Kevlar-reinforced for extreme durability and long-time use. But if it ever does break, we'll replace it for free, no worries.
I’ve only been wearing the brace for a week. It seems to be very good. It seemed to be very flimsy at first, but after putting it on, it gives my ankle of the support I need.
Thanks for sharing your early impressions, Richard! We totally get how it might feel lightweight at first, and that’s by design to keep it comfortable and low-profile. But once it’s on, the support kicks in right where you need it most. We’re glad to hear it’s working well for your ankle so far, and we hope it continues to give you the stability and confidence you’re looking for!
So far so good but it is too early to give a detailed response. As soon as I’ve some more time and use of the brace. I will let you know.
Thank you for sharing, Ron! We trust it will continue to provide the support you're looking for.
Walking Boot and AFO Alternative - RecoverX Brace
Thank you for your review, Fred!
Works just as advertised. My ankle is so much stronger.
Love to hear it, Thomas! Thank you for sharing your review and we're glad the AthleticX Brace is delivering the support you need and helping your ankle feel stronger. That’s exactly what it’s built for!
This ankle brace is helping after surgery to repair broken ankle, after walking boot this brace much easier to deal with as my injured foot is same height in shoe as other foot
Thank you sharing your story, Lissa! We’re so glad the brace has been a helpful next step after your surgery. That even height between both feet can make such a big difference during recovery. We’re glad it’s working well for you!
TayCo Brace replaced a recent brace purchase. So helpful, easy & fast.
Thanks for giving the brace another shot, and we’re sorry to hear the original didn’t hold up. That’s not the level of durability we aim for. Our support team will be reaching out to understand where the issue occured, refund the replacement, and make sure you’re taken care of!
This brace is great the only thing I wish the velcro would last longer other than that I love it
Thanks so much, Stacey! We’re glad to hear you’re loving the brace. We hear you on the Velcro; it’s something we’re always working to improve. If it ever starts to wear out sooner than expected, our support team is happy to help!
Haven't been able to use the brace yet, waiting for longer straps to go over the top of my shoe, but otherwise it looks like a good fit and will help me be able to walk farther than in my walking boot.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Kevin! Keep us posted if you need anything else - we're always happy to help.
This brace is cheaply made. The quality of the product and materials used to make the brace are plastics that could easily bend and break. This brace is too expensive for the price. The brace is probably worth only 50% of the price (at most). Brace is not good for neurological conditions at all. This is an athletic brace for someone that can run and move about. I do not recommend for patients that have had strokes, spinal cord injuries, or anything of that nature because the brace isn’t sturdy enough or made to withstand the pressure that will be put on it. You will still need a customized AFO to use with it. Therefore, the is no use for the brace. I give this brace 2 stars because it’s not worth the price at all. If it was decently priced, then maybe I wouldn’t scored it higher, but I do not recommend.
Thank you for your feedback, Kristy. While our braces are built with durable, reinforced materials and work well for many individuals, we understand it may not be the right fit for every condition. We’d love the chance to learn more about your experience and see how we can help — our customer care team will be reaching out.
This is better than tall boot for me since hip surgery
Eastern to walk in and does not torque your hips
Thank you for sharing your story, Sylvia! We’re so glad the RecoverX Brace has been easier and more comfortable for you after hip surgery. Wishing you continued comfort and confidence as you stay active!
I have been dealing with drop foot for the last 5 years. The brace that I've been using is built into my shoe. The TayCo brace allows me the opportunity to wear any foot wear I want!! It's also very easy to put on and adjust. Thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing your story, Erin! We appreciate it, and we’re so glad the RecoverX Brace is giving you both the support and the freedom to wear the footwear you choose.
I sprained my ankle playing tennis. The brace was shipped in a timely fashion…fits good and easy to put and off. The over the shoe design is so much better than the one I’ve been wearing that didn’t fit well with my shoes. Because of the support I think they are going to help me get back to court sooner.
Thanks for sharing your experience, George! Wishing you a smooth recovery and a strong return to the tennis court. 💪
Had trouble getting an ankle stabilizing brace that fits in my shoes. This brace solved all my issues and I am very happy with the results.
Thank you for the wonderful review, Brian! We’re so glad the AthleticX Brace has given you the fit and support you were looking for. Enjoy the comfort and stability!
Great support. Easy to put on. Quality made.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Dan! We’re glad to hear the brace is giving you great support. 💪
Due to a back injury I have developed peripheral neuropathy in my lower legs and lost side to side control of both ankles. The Tayco Athletic X Braces let me walk on uneven ground and prevent my ankles from rolling over, which was almost impossible without the braces. The braces are easy to put on and light weight. I hardly know I have them on other than the fact that they provide me with the confidence to walk on uneven terrain without the fear of falling over.
Thank you for sharing your story, James! We’re so glad the AthleticX Braces are giving you the stability and confidence to walk safely. It means a lot to know they’re making such a positive difference for you.
The best available brace on the market. I fractured my ankle 9 months ago and never want to go through that again! The Tayco Easy On AthleticX Brace have stopped my ankle from rolling a few times already and I would never do any sports activities without it again. It works good, doesn't restrict mobility and best of all, it works unlike any other brace out there! Their customer service is very responsive and will pick up their phone or call you back and answer all of your questions fast.
Thank you so much for sharing this, Jerry! We’re thrilled to hear the AthleticX Brace has helped you stay active and confident after your ankle fracture. We’ll also pass along your kind words to our customer service team, they’ll be glad to know they made a difference!
Boot helps me walk on an old injury providing stability
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, Andre! We appreciate it and are thrilled it provides the stability you were looking for.
I have peroneal tendinitis and have tried at least a half dozen ankle braces, but none have given me the support I needed to take force off my ankle. I have been wearing my Tayco brace for a week. (Initially, strap 1 was too short, but customer service was incredibly responsive in getting me a replacement.) It is easy to put on and take off, and I feel much more secure wearing it. Played gold yesterday with no problems. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for the thoughtful review, Thomas! We’re thrilled to hear the AthleticX Brace is finally giving you the support you’ve been searching for and that you were able to play golf.
This RecoverX brace was exactly what I needed when transitioning from a CAM boot to ankle brace. I can lock it to prevent ankle movement or, now that I’ve been approved to strengthen foot muscles and transition to full weight bearing, I can unlock it for full mobility. In these early transitioning days, I need the support, but I also need the mobility of the unlocked brace. And it’s so much more convenient, as it fits over any shoe! I love it!
Thank you for taking the time to share your story, Helen! We’re thrilled the RecoverX Brace has given you both the support and freedom you need during recovery. That smooth transition out of the boot and into mobility is exactly what we designed it for—so glad it’s working for you!
