Description
Lift your foot and walk with confidence again, in a brace that fits inside your shoe
Drop foot starts with positioning. The front of the foot hangs down instead of sitting square to the leg, and every step has to work around it. This brace gives you that angle back, for drop foot from hemiplegia, stroke recovery, MS and other causes, so you can put your attention on where you are going instead of where your toes are.
Firm braces tend to be thick plastic that a shoe will barely close over, and fabric straps tend to stretch out by lunchtime. This one gives you the hold of a molded shell and the slim profile of a strap, in one comfortable piece.
A thin footplate slides under your foot, a curved upright runs up behind your calf, and the shell holds the angle for you. Because the plate is thin and the sides are cut away, it goes on under an ordinary lace-up trainer.
Airbag cushioning that supports the ankle and adjusts all day
Inside the calf section sits an inflatable air liner. A small rubber bulb on a short tube connects to a round valve on the outer face of the shell. Squeeze the bulb and the liner fills out snugly against your calf. Press the valve and the air goes back out.
That is what makes the brace comfortable to wear for hours. The hold comes from a soft cushion spread across the back of your calf, so the pressure is shared evenly and the strap stays relaxed.
You can change the fit during the day without taking the brace off. Legs swell and settle, so two squeezes in the morning and a press of the valve after dinner keeps the support right where you want it.
It goes on sitting down, with one hand
Sit, slide your foot onto the plate, bring the upright against your calf, and press the padded cuff strap closed across the front. There is one strap, and it closes with a wide hook-and-loop panel you can catch with the side of your hand.
The top of your foot and the front of your ankle stay open because the sides of the shell are cut away, so your foot has room to breathe and a regular sock goes on underneath smoothly.
Pick your side: left and right are shaped to fit their own leg
Each order is one brace for one foot, so you choose the side that needs the lift.
The left and right versions are mirror moldings. The upright is curved to sit against the calf on that side and the footplate is shaped for that foot, which is why the brace sits so naturally once it is on. Choose your side above, then add to cart.
Find your size in one measurement: the girth of your foot
Run a tape around the middle of your foot, over the top and under the arch, and read the number where it meets. That girth around the instep picks your size.
If you land between two sizes, take the larger one and let the air liner take up the difference. That is what it is there for.
