• Construction that is both thin and strong: It is made of polypropylene and has a thin profile that allows it to be worn both inside and outside the shoe.
• Anatomical design: The splint is anatomically intended to distribute weight evenly and keep the foot in a functioning posture (dorsiflexion)
• Closed-cell PE foam: The top padding is composed of skin-friendly, hypoallergenic, and non-toxic closed-cell PE foam.
