Mode of Action

• features a padded metatarsus roll and a shortened sole construction towards the heel area
• pressure relief and pressure distribution during the walking cycle
• benefits the healing process of wounds in the heel area
• the heel relief shoe embraces ankle and tarsus with a softly padded shoe upper
