BraceAbility 2025 Year in Review: Our Most Supportive Year Yet!

Celebrating 2025: A Year of Comfort, Innovation, and Connection with BraceAbility

In 2025, BraceAbility set out with one clear goal: to make everyday comfort accessible to the amazing people who need it most. From our headquarters in Cedar Falls, Iowa, to customers across the United States, this year has been about listening to real needs, creating meaningful solutions, and celebrating the people whose lives have changed because of them.

As we close out another incredible year, we’re reflecting on what made 2025 special: our community, our innovations, and our expanded focus on a category that matters most.

Why We Focused on Socks and Ankle Sleeves in 2025

Over the past few years, we’ve seen growing demand for foot and ankle comfort products. Whether from folks managing chronic foot pain, recovering from injury, or simply seeking better all-day support, the message was clear: comfortable, breathable compression products in the foot and ankle space make a difference in recovery and healing.

So in 2025, we decided to make this category our top priority. Our product development team poured energy into creating new socks and sleeves designed to relieve pain, improve circulation, and keep you moving comfortably. These designs incorporate our signature Comfort-Compression Technology™ and Breathe-Fit Technology™, ensuring every pair feels supportive, soft, and easy to wear.

And, it paid off. This focus led to several of our most successful product launches to date, with record-breaking feedback from customers nationwide.

Our 2025 Highlights in Numbers

In 2025, more people than ever turned to BraceAbility for comfort and recovery. We proudly supported over 54,000 orders across all 50 states, helping thousands of customers find lasting relief through our innovative compression socks, braces, and supports.

 Behind the scenes, our Customer Care Team handled more than 28,000 support tickets and over 10,000 calls, ensuring every question was answered and every experience felt personal. Each number represents a real person: someone walking more comfortably, moving with confidence, or getting back to the activities they love. These milestones remind us why we do what we do: to make everyday comfort accessible for everyone.

Customer Success Stories

Real people are the heart of our brand. Here are just a few of the many stories that inspired us this year.

“Excellent Knee Brace - HIGHLY RECOMMEND

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The braces are excellent. I used to utilize the drug store braces but this brace provides a lot more knee stability and it reduces swelling and joint pain. I would highly recommend and do utilizing the sizing recommendations because the brace looked to large but actually was a perfect fit.” - Jonathan Smith, on the BraceAbility Plus Size Knee Brace

“Help at last!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Makes all the difference. No longer have dropping issues when I wear this. Feel like a normal person. I can go about my day with confidence now and not wonder when I am I going to have an issue or how embarrassed am I going to be.” - Linda True, on the Pelvic Pro Prolapse Support Belt

“Life changing

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is my second brace. Still using first brace but got the second to wear while the other is getting cleaned. This brace is a life changer for me. With drop foot it's easy to fall. This brace kerps my foot up and I can walk with confidence.” - Diana Sasser, on the Soft AFO Drop Foot Brace

“Very comfortable and they alleviate pain!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

These are amazing socks! I am a busy, stay-at-home and home-schooling mom who is on my feet about 80% of the day. I also have very flat feet after carrying and 3 large babies in pregnancy and gaining 25 lbs that I need to lose. These help my feet every single night and they do not seem to be wearing out even after 10 washes. I love, love, love that they are not too tight and yet still take away my pain! They're so comfortable! I totally recommend them!” - Marie Frank on Neuropathy Socks

“Worth it!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I love this knee brace. I’m only 5’ 2” and this brace fits well and has so many ways to adjust the straps. I was surprised at how well it worked and I have zero knee pain when walking. There is also no additional pain from the straps. Other knee braces caused residual pain from tight straps behind my knee and this one does not.” - Melissa Morey on Osteoarthritis Unloader Knee Brace

“Perfect support!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I tried 3 shoes, after I broke my toe, and none worked like this. It is exceedingly comfortable, with support all in the right places. The strap doesn’t go across your toes, but firmly holds the foot, and your toes are covered and experience no pressure. The base is padded and the sole has enough shock absorption that it makes walking easy. Highly recommend.” -Bryony Bensly on Closed Toe Medical Walking Shoe

Why This Focus Matters

Our decision to invest deeply in socks and ankle sleeves was about far more than new products. it was about meeting customers where they need us most.

• Targeted compression for circulation, swelling, and pain management
