Bracesox Blog

Dear Anne,

I have been using your Bracesox since 2009. The brace socks are great and they really last! However, just like socks, mine do go AWOL evey once in awhile. I have lost one and need a replacement for it. I also need a couple more now that I need braces for both knees. (After a lifetime of hard work, injuries and being struck by lightening, my knees are shot. Thank goodness I am now retired.)

It is hard to put into words how much difference using a Bracesox under my Donjoy Drytex economy hinged knee brace feels. While the Donjoy knee brace is very soft and has extra padding inside it still marks the skin where the metal hinge presses. This starts hurting after wearing my brace all day. Using the Bracesox keeps this from happening. Bracesox makes a soft barrier between my skin and the brace. I have had pain in my knee so bad it compelled me to wear my brace for over 24 hrs. This would not have been possible without the comfort of the Bracesox.

While I have not worn out my Bracesox, they have outlasted several braces. I have used them while working and doing everything I enjoy. I have used them driving a car, driving a big truck while pushing snow for 12 hours and while riding my motorcycle. I have worn them while hunting and fishing, working out and mowing the yard. I have worn them day and night and even slept with them. My wife added that "I have worn them with a fox, sleeping in a box, while eating green eggs and ham". You get the idea! As Carl Malden would say, "I never leave home without them". I cannot speak highly enough about your products.

I hope you will use my letter to let others know how happy I have been with my Bracesox. I would also like to add that I am not making a dime out of this endorsement and I am in no way connected to you or your company. I write this to let others know there is a product available to aid in the comfort of wearing a brace.  Wearing a brace is tough and this just makes toughening it out a lot easier. That's as honest as it gets.

Thank you for all your help.
Sincerely,
