Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does FLEX STEP differ from a simple soft Drop Foot brace with hook-and-loop straps?
A simple soft Drop Foot brace typically provides elastic support with quick adjustment and a focus on everyday practicality. FLEX STEP is a more structured in-shoe option using polypropylene and a Dial lock system, enabling finer tuning and a different stabilization feel in walking, depending on shoe choice and setup.
How do I choose the right size, and what type of shoe works best?
Size selection is based on footplate length in cm rather than standard shoe sizing, so the base fits correctly inside the shoe. Shoes with a firm heel counter and secure lacing tend to work best, and sufficient shoe volume is important to help avoid pressure points.
Besides a brace, what is commonly used as additional support for steadier walking?
In everyday use, a supportive orthotic insole can help create a steadier in-shoe base, while appropriate footwear with good heel support can improve practicality. Where appropriate, an EMS device may be used for muscle activation within a professionally guided plan. A foot massage roller may also be used for comfort and relaxation after long hours in shoes, without replacing the core walking support approach.
