Kinds of Foot Braces include the following: |
Relief foot braces
- Relief foot braces are used for providing reinforcement to aching or injured feet.
- They provide excellent support and comfort.
- They usually consist of a soft nylon upper and a wedge outsole for stability, durability, and protection.
- They can be made with hi-top uppers that keep the feet securely in place and reduce slippage.
Postoperative foot braces
- Postoperative foot braces are used for supporting feet that have undergone surgery to repair fracture or injury.
- They provide greater stability and support than the relief foot braces.
- They are usually made with adjustable back hooks for snug and comfortable fit, soft foam outer liners for added comfort, and unique walking soles that help user move in a normal gait.
