Frequently Asked Questions

What does the square-toe bumper do?
The square-toe design creates a rigid protective bumper around the front of the shoe that helps shield the toes from contact with objects during normal activity.

How does the rocker sole reduce pressure?
The rocker sole has a curved profile that shifts the point of ground contact away from the forefoot and heel during the walking cycle, reducing plantar pressure on the forefoot and heel by over 25%.

How do I select the correct size for my child?
This shoe fits children's US shoe sizes 12 to 1. Use your child's current shoe size as a starting point. The shoe is designed to accommodate some swelling and dressings.

Can the insole be modified?
Yes. The removable double-padded insole can be trimmed or modified to create targeted pressure relief zones under specific areas of the foot. The insole can also be removed entirely to accommodate additional dressings or a custom orthotic insert.
