• Heel Relief Shoe

Mode of Action

• new improved sole construction effects targeted shifting of the body centre of gravity onto the forefoot with at the same time comfortable foot roll-over
• the shoe can be worn on the left or right side, due to a hook- and loop pad
• the pad can be customised (for example by sanding or "build-ups") – depending on the anatomy of the medial arch, this provides better medial support and relief of the heel
• especially effective and full-size padded sole prevents plantar pressure peaks
• the shaft is individually adjustable to the ankle, back of the foot and forefoot area
• inner lining fabric of the shoe as well as cover fabric of the padded insole are anti-bacterially equipped based on ammonium-silane-compound; this limits colonisation of the material with certain bacterial strains (e.g. Staphylokokkus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae)

• other wounds in the heel area
