Stop toe dragging & walk with confidence again
Foot drop, nerve weakness, or neurological conditions can make it difficult to lift the front of your foot as you walk.
This can cause toe dragging, frequent trips, and compensatory movements through your hips and knees, leading to tiring, unstable steps and a constant fear of falling.
A supportive foot drop brace helps keep your foot in a more natural, lifted position while walking, improving toe clearance and stability.
This can help reduce stumbling, promote smoother movement, and give you greater confidence and independence throughout the day.
From uncertain steps to a supported foot lift
When your foot doesn’t lift enough, your toes can catch the ground, your steps may feel uneven, and every walk can take extra concentration. Over time, that can make you slow down, avoid longer walks, or worry about stumbling.
StepUp uses an adjustable tension-string system to gently support your foot in a neutral, slightly lifted position as you walk.
It’s designed to help reduce toe drag, improve foot clearance, and guide your foot through a smoother, more natural step.
Walk with greater stability, smoother steps, and less effort from the very first use.
Reduces strain on your knees, hips, & lower back
Foot drop can cause your body to compensate with hip hiking, excessive knee lifting, and uneven weight shifting, placing extra strain on your joints and lower back.
StepUp helps lift and support your foot with adjustable string tension, reducing the need for these awkward compensatory movements and helping your lower body move more naturally.
Fits inside everyday shoes
Traditional AFO braces are often so bulky that you need to size up your shoes by one or even two sizes just to fit them.
StepUp Brace takes a different approach. Its soft, flexible design gently wraps around your ankle and fits easily into the shoes you already wear.
Comfortable support without the extra bulk or the need for oversized shoes.
Prevent dry skin, calluses, & blisters under the toes
When your foot drags as you walk, your toes repeatedly rub against the ground. Over time, this friction can cause dry skin, calluses, and painful blisters that may crack, break open, and become difficult to heal.
StepUp Brace helps keep your foot and toes gently lifted while you walk, reducing toe drag and friction against the ground.
This helps protect your skin and reduce the risk of calluses, blisters, and irritation under the toes.
Reduce the risk of falls on stairs & uneven surfaces
Stairs, curbs, and uneven surfaces can become tricky when your foot doesn’t lift enough. A slight toe catch can quickly turn into a stumble.
StepUp Brace helps keep your foot lifted through each step, giving your toes more clearance and helping you move more naturally over changing surfaces.
