RecoverX Brace
What kind of foot and ankle injuries is the RecoverX most commonly used for?
The RecoverX can be used for a wide range of diagnoses involving the ankle and hindfoot. The most common are ankle sprains, stable fractures, and operative fractures, along with various forms of chronic instability. Please seek medical advice from your doctor if you have any additional concerns. PLEASE NOTE: This brace does not support forefoot injuries.
Does the RecoverX Brace provide forefoot stability?
Unfortunately, the brace does NOT provide forefoot stability or support recovery from forefoot conditions or injuries.
The TayCo RecoverX brace only supports ankle and hindfoot injuries.
How do I know I’m getting the best external brace possible?
The RecoverX is the only rigid and hinged brace that fits over your shoe, changing the way ankle recovery looks and feels. It is compatible with the majority of athletic shoes and OSHA compliant work boots. The RecoverX has 3 hinge options from fixed, limited range of motion, to free motion. It is easy to put on and the straps can be trimmed to fit any user. The RecoverX is the best lightweight alternative to a walking boot.
Is there a product warranty?
Our product warranty covers:
- Up to 6 months: Any breakage of the plastic portion of the brace.
- Up to 3 months: Any defect in the workmanship or durability of the straps, hook and loop fastener, rivets, or buckles.
During the warranty period, if the brace is found to be defective, TayCo Brace will repair or replace the brace at no cost.
The product warranty DOES NOT cover:
- Damage caused by misuse, abuse, or accident.
- Braces that have been altered or repaired by someone other than TayCo Brace, Inc., Surestep, or authorized affiliates.

What shoes can I wear with the RecoverX?
We recommend use with a rigid or semi-rigid standard walking/jogging shoe, work boot, or diabetic shoe. Using a custom orthotic in the shoe may be recommended for additional arch and foot support.
What if my shoe is between sizes?
If you are between sizes, we recommend going with the smaller size to ensure proper fit.

My stirrup strap adjustment tool broke. What do I do?
If the stirrup strap adjustment tool breaks it does not change the integrity of the brace.

What is the main difference between the RecoverX and the XAB?
The difference between the RecoverX Brace and the XAB is that the XAB is optimized for a custom fit. Meaning it has a different blend of polymers that support bending, molding and trimming. The XAB also offers steel spring inserts in the uprights to enhance the custom fitting experience. You can only receive the XAB from a licensed medical provider.
The color is also different, and the easiest way to distinguish between the two products.
