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.
After reading the instructions, I followed them every day. The brace absolutely kept my ankle in the proper position all day. The brace was engineered perfectly, and the materials used to make it are strong and resilient. If anyone asks, I will highly recommend buying and using Tayco.

Thank you for sharing, Roland! We’re thrilled to hear the AthleticX Brace performed exactly as intended and kept your ankle properly supported throughout the day. We truly appreciate your recommendation and support, and we’re glad the brace is helping you stay active with confidence!
Fits. Works. Inexpensive. I wish I had known about these before I had braces custom made for thousands of dollars and they didn't work half as well.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Peggy! We’re thrilled to hear the brace has worked so well for you. Knowing it outperformed braces that cost thousands means a lot to us. We appreciate your support and are glad you’re back to doing more with confidence!
I dis some research and found TAY CO over the boot alternative , Just what I wanted and does support my foot and ankle well without feeling cumbersome!
Thank you for the review, Barbara! We’re glad you found the RecoverX Brace after doing your research. It’s great to hear the brace provided the support you needed without the discomfort and hassle. Wishing you continued healing and a smooth recovery!
The little that I have used this, I have been impressed
Thank you for your kind words and taking the time to leave a review!
This thing is amazing. 10 times more comfortable than a boot and almost as good (less good if you injure the joint in flexion). Was a total game changer in my recovery and I was able to start walking a lot sooner. I also was able to start lifting and walking on trails much sooner
Thank you for sharing your experience, Alex! We’re thrilled to hear the AthleticX Brace was such a game changer during your recovery. It's great to know you were able to get back to walking, lifting, and even hitting the trails sooner than expected. Wishing you continued progress and many more miles ahead! 💪♂️
I wore a boot that was prescribed for me by my PC doc for several months last winter. It was uncomfortable and shifted weight around so my hip hurt.
I was told I had a compression fracture of my tibula. After awhile I thought I was healed and I quit the boot.
A few weeks ago the same pain came back. I was sick of the boot and decided to try the TayCo. It is ten times more comfortable, almost like you don't know it is there. I don't know if it helping to heal the tibula problem for sure, but I don't feel any pain. I will use it for the next six weeks and then see where I am. I have been able to cut my grass in two, 20 minutes segments separated by a day. I am 78.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Paul! We’re so glad the RecoverX Brace has been a more comfortable and supportive alternative for you compared to the boot. Hearing that you’re back to doing things like mowing the lawn with less pain is exactly what we hope for. Wishing you continued healing and steady progress in the weeks ahead.
Felt secure walking on unlevel ground and gravel. Can look up now instead of down watching everywhere I step.
Thank you for sharing, Kevin! We’re so glad the AthleticX Brace is helping you feel more secure and confident on uneven ground. Wishing you many more steady steps ahead!
This ankle brace is excellent for hiking and backpacking. I backpacked 250 miles in Arizona wearing this ankle brace. It was comfortable and kept me safe , even on rocky steep trails in the wilderness and unmaintained roads. Highly recommend. I wear it with high socks or a calf compression sleeve.
Thank you for sharing! We’re so glad the AthleticX Brace helped keep you comfortable, supported, and confident through 250 miles of hiking and backpacking in Arizona. Wishing you many more safe miles and adventures ahead! ⛰️ 💪
So far it’s working fine what I really like about it is that I feel my feet stabler easy to walk on and with more use I hope it will heal my injured ankle I am satisfied
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Sonia! We’re so glad the RecoverX Brace is already helping you feel more stable and confident while walking. Wishing you steady progress and continued comfort ahead!
The brace delivers all the company says. Comfortable and provides the support needed
