X1 Blade for Turf Toe/Hallux Rigidus - www.indianabrace.com

[Quietriotou812]

Update for me.. I have had the X1 blad pro's for about 5 months for both feet. I turn 36 years old this month and I plan to buy another pair by months end so that I do not have to keep changing the inserts from one pair of shoes to another. I run 2-4 miles every single day with little or no pain. These things have changed my life because for the first time in years I can run regularly and pain free. If you are thinking of getting one.. Do yourself a favor and buy them.

I am a male in my 30's and I used to be a regular runner up till my late 20's. In my late 20's I started noticing pain in my big toe, which I always took as maybe a stressed ligament. It would hurt to walk and anything. I iced it, stopped running and it was always sore. Went to the doctor and they said I had wore away most of the cartalidge in both my big toes and they gave me an insert. I read about Shaq having a Chilectomy and spent the last couple years off and on looking around the internet

i am a collegiate wr who has suffered with turf toe for multiple seasons. the pain finally reached the point where i could barely walk let alone practice. after reading all the reviews regarding the x1 blade i decided to give it a try. after about a week of using the x1 blade in my shoes and cleats i am extremely excited to report that the pain has receded tremendously and i am able to practice and run at almost 100%. thank you clyde for giving me the opportunity to finish my football career!!!

My son is a senior in college and started football camp yesterday. He was thrilled to have his X1 Blade to start camp as it was the first relief he has felt in his extremely painful turf toe. The bad news is the night before camp he left his shoes with insert on his car and he drove away and lost them. The GREAT news is the customer service is wonderful and they are sending a replacement straight to him on campus... THANK YOU CLYDE PEACH and God Bless!

I am a division 1 cross country ski racer who developed turf toe five years ago from skiing. I tried to protect the injury with stainless steel inserts for years. This involved making the shoe uncomfortable because of the amount of space that it takes up encloses your foot and painful toe in a tight prison. I gave the X1 blade a try and was amazed by how comfortable I was as my foot had tremendous range of motion while protecting my turf toe. You can feel the sophistication of this design.

I'm a college WR who has been battling with turf toe goin on two years. It started with small pain, now its so bad i cant run on it at all. Ive tried taping, that doesnt work, rest works a lil but works nothing like the X1 Blade for turf toe! ive been using it for two weeks now and i love it. It allows me to walk pain free, run, and continue with my football workouts! The X1 Blade is a life saver for any football player battling turf toe! Trust Me! This Damn Thing Works! Thanks Clyde!

My YouTube name says it all - PainsGONE! I bought the X1 blade in 6/24/2009 and as soon as I started walking with it the pain in my big toe disappeared. I had gone through 2 steroid shots, many different shoe orthotics including custom and even had a rocker sole molded to my shoes and nothing would relieve the pain due to arthritis. I just ordered more for all of my shoes Thank you Mr. Peach. Sincerely, Jay BTW, I just spoke with him - great guy!

[alleybee123]

thanks clyde! I got my X1 a week ago and what a difference! I was worried that i would have to adjust myself to using this insert. Not the case - we went out a few days ago and i can play tennis just like i used to be able to. Also, i can now walk non-stop without having to take long breaks. This device has truly made a big difference in my life. Thanks for your great product.

I am a golfer and I walk and carry my bag. I was recently diagnosed with "turf toe" and had to quit walking entirely. I looked into a number of different inserts and orthotics and finally spoke on the phone with Clyde about the X-1. I ordered one, put it in my golf shoe and was immediately able to walk the course. I've walked almost daily since while my turf toe continues to improve and I have no pain while walking. THANKS to Clyde for the amazing X-1.

My son developed turf toe over the summer during high school football workouts. He was entering his senior year of football as a receiver. Your inserts allowed him to continue working out and playing football. He has a second pair he wears in his regular shoes as well. I recommend anyone who has an issue with turf toe to wear them in both feet to help prevent turf toe from occurring or re-occurring. Thank you!

Mr. Peach,

My daughter had a broken big toe that truly was hurting her all the time, so much so that she limped whenever she walked. She received one of your X-1 Sweetspot blades and has received immediate relief from her pain and discomfort. It allowed her to return to her normal gait without any pain. It is a real "miracle" for my daughter. She and I thank you and appreciate your X-1 blade.

Thank you so much,

Al & Kerry Dowd

I have hallux rigidis and was given an expensive custom orthotic that did provide some improvement. Once I purchased the X1, it was like my foot never hurt! The X1 is amazing, allowing me to run, and run hard, with virtually no pain. And I can walk around in most any shoe with comfort. thanks!!

As a former Ironman finisher, having completed 16 marathons (12 in one year), I was devastated when my orthopedic doctor diagnosed the pain in my toe while running the last two years as "Turf Toe." Nothing seemed to help, including rest; it would re-occur as soon I as ran. I ordered a X1 Blade, and have already logged 55 miles of PAIN-FREE running. Unbelievable... I'll likely order two more, one for my work shoes, and one for my gym shoes.

My dad is a college football coach in Michigan. One of his wide recievers suffered from turf toe all preseason. After playing the first game he wasn't sure if he was going to be able to play the following week because of the pain. I recommended this turf toe insert for him. He loves it! He has not missed a game and will continue to play with it all season. I highly recommend it for athletes. Any player on this team who suffers from turf toe in the future will definitely be getting one. Thanks!

Amazing product. I'm a physician and marathon runner who had surgery for hallux rigidus. My gait had compensated by supinating which led to upstream dysfunctions. After a suggestion by UVA SPEED clinic (highly skilled biomechanists and therapists) I tried the turf toe plate. After first week my feet and form were thankful. I could roll through my large toe without pain and even felt added power as the product seemed to return energy. Hope to keep running for life. Mark in West Virginia

A huge step beyond anything that has been offered as a shoe stiffener for hallux rigidus. As a pedorthist who works exclusively with elite athletes I found these to be the best solution for today's athletic footwear.

I bought 2 of these inserts for my turf toe/hallux rigidus on both feet. I use them when I jog/power walk on my treadmill, and they allow me to work out with much less pain and a quicker recovery time. I endorse this product 100% - thanks Clyde & Jeannie

[GWM6511]

Medical advice is that my hallux rigidus is caused by irreversible wear and tear exacerbated by regular tennis. I was told I'd have to get used to the pain in walking, sports etc. Yesterday my X1 insert arrived and I took a brisk walk over a hill with minimal pain - remarkable - I'm very grateful for your ingenuity Clyde!

[buatc55]

We have used the X1 carbon fiber insert on athletes with turf toe at Butler University and have had great results! I would recommend it to any athlete suffering from turf toe!

[ementor1963]

I agree with every one here - this insert works great!!! Additionally, the customer service Indiana Brace provided was EXCELLENT!!!

[tmxteam]

Clyde- I am a physician runner and your X1 Sweetspot is doing the trick for my hallux rigidus. 2 months of use and the improvement is already 70% to 90% depending on the day and mileage. It only took about two to three runs for the foot to adapt. Please send me another one of those thin inserts (right 27)to wear in my shoes during office. Thanks Clyde

[rroskuski]

I'm 66, and two years ago I injured my right foot playing competitive tennis. Two doctors diagnosed the problem as stress fracture/arthritis of the Lisfranc joint (mid foot). A tennis friend recommended the Indiana Brace sweet spot insert. They provided me with a custom insert that has miraculously eliminated the pain when I play tennis 3-4x/week. Thanks, Clyde, for improving my quality of life.

I am 54 and had Turf Toe diagnosed by an Orthopedic doc. After I used the Sweet Spot for a few days, all pain was gone, and symptoms soon went away as well.

[iandschmidt]

I have utilized this product on many of my patients here in Indianapolis as well as placed a pair of the Rigid Shoe Stiffeners in my own father's shoes that he wears at work. As of yet I have not had a negative reaction or report from any of my patients. The design of the insert allows for normal walking motion without the flexing of the metatarsal joints and takes all the pressure off of arthritic feet and 1st MP injuries.

[texasvineyards]

These things really work. My son broke the sesmoid bone at the great toe joint near the end of the football season. By limiting extension at the joint the insert allowed him to finish football and go right into basketball all while the foot was healing. Thank you, Great Product!

[dlrodine]

My type of work requires me to be on my feet and bend down a lot. Throughout the years this has taken its toll and I have hallux valgus and arthritis of the big toe. I use one of Clyde's sweet spot shoe stiffners in my shoe. This has allowed me to function normally and without pain. Thank you!

[cyndiwnewell]

THis provided the protection my son needed for his turf toe. cleats are made so soft now we need to add orthotics that can protect but allow flexibility for routes and cuts. This is the answer. our trainer said anyone with foot issues needs this. That's why we got one for the foot that wasn't hurt- thanks clyde
