At only 11” high and weighing under 1 lb, the Step Smart brace offers functionality and comfort at a reasonable price. This fully articulated brace maintains ankle action, feeling, and flexibility in the toes, allowing for clearance during swing phase and shock absorption at heel strike.

Patented Jacob Joint technology allows one brace type to be used by many in alleviating foot drop symptoms.

Video Transcript for Hip Square Video:
“Hi! Ian Engelman here from Insightful Products. I’ve got Dave here. David does not have drop foot but for purposes of demonstrating an uneven hip height or pelvic obliquity he’s helping us out. Thanks for doing that.

So he’s got a Step-Smart brace on his left side and because he has a Step-Smart brace on his left side his left leg is essentially just a little bit taller than his right leg. So would you stand up for me please, David? So the reason I had this small chair is because I need to be near my subject matter and if I check out his hips like this, having done this for a long time I can see his left side is just a little bit taller than this right side because of the Step smart brace. This isn’t a functional problem. It’s more of a comfort problem. If you’d like to solve that and you’d like to have your hips even we sell the hip square. Hip square is an exact replica of the footplate that the Step-Smart brace has and it comes with a free velcro kit which allows you to insert it into the contralateral shoe. So, here we have the shoe and the what we call a solid horseshoe design and you simply just peel off the papers leaving the adhesive back and you insert it into the counter of the shoe or the bottom of the shoe right near the counter and then when you install the hip square just make sure you pull it up into the back of the counter all the way before setting it down on the velcro. That way you’re not stepping on the back edge. You would do that with the Step Smart brace too. There we go. We’ve got the funnel here for easy donning. Just step right in there, David. Step right up. It feels good, huh? And now you’d put equal weight on both sides. Yep! Now when I measure his hips they’re square. So when you order a Step Smart brace you may want to consider ordering the hip square to go along with it. You can order your hip square brace when you purchase your step smart brace or afterwards.

Video Transcript for Should I Get A Top Cover for the Step-Smart?

You might be deciding whether you want to get a top cover or not for your Step-Smart brace and I’m here to explain the difference. So this Step-Smart has a top cover on it and what it is is it’s a low coefficient of friction leather on top of a foam which will take the shape and mold to the bottom of your foot. Think of it as kind of a deluxe version of the Step-Smart brace.
Read More

It’s not needed. It does add a little bit of bulk. You may want to check out Episode 9 where we show how to use the insert that comes with your shoe as a top cover and its sandwiches the brace inside the shoe. It’s actually quite a nice setup. However, you should know that the Step-Smart brace without a top cover is perfectly acceptable. It’s the type of brace design I’ve been providing for my patients for 20-plus years. There’s no problem with this whatsoever and you put your foot right on top of Step-Smart as it comes without the top cover without any issue.

  Hola,
  Nuestro aparato ortopédico viene en solo unos pocos tamaños. Para hacerlo más fácil, le preguntamos cuál es el tamaño de su zapato para ayudarnos a seleccionar mejor el tamaño de la abrazadera para usted.
  Al comprar, simplemente ingrese el tamaño de su zapato en el menú desplegable y el sistema se encargará del resto.

Bill DeVore – October 25, 2018

I’ve been using the Step-Smart brace for my MS-caused foot-drop for over two years. I’ve had multiple AFOs, “fixed” shoe braces and I’ve also tried the Walk-Aid & Bioness. The Step-Smart is by far the best brace I’ve tried/used.
- Andy (verified owner) – October 29, 2018
  
  Hi Bill- Thanks for sharing your experience. The Step Smart has proven to be quite helpful to many in the MS community. Glad it’s helping you.

Ned – October 19, 2018

I have severe foot drop from recent spinal issues. After going through several other braces (ankle cuffs with straps to lift the front of shoes) that either broke or didn’t work at all, and not wanting to deal with the problems and discomforts of a traditional molded AFO, I called Insightful Products twice with lots of questions and then ordered a Step-Smart brace from Amazon. I wept openly after wearing it for only a few minutes, discovering that I could actually walk again.

  Dear Ned
  I am sharing your review with the rest of the staff here at Insightful Products. It’s great that we get such amazing feedback from the Step Smart users. We are happy to have helped.

2nd order from Insightfulproducts.

My first order for Step-Smart changed my life. I can walk without thinking about walking. I walk almost normal. Having foot drop i constantly battle with tripping and walking like frankenstein. Step=Smart changed that. I will use this forever, unless medical research can fix my issue. Great product.

My second order is for the tensor set. Came in reasonable time and works perfect!

Nakul Sharma – August 4, 2018

Hello,

I am planning to buy this product for my wife and i have some questions regarding that. First, is it necessary to wear shoes or any other footwear along with step smart brace? Can’t it be wear alone over socks without any footwear at home?

Also, what kind of women sandals can be worn with this brace? Is it required for sandals to have some sort of strap covering the tow that supports the brace or this kind of sandals can also work?

https://www.amazon.com/Fheaven-Rhinestone-Slippers-Bohemia-Sandals/dp/B07BYP49K2/ref=sr_1_52?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1533419966&sr=1-52&nodeID=679425011&psd=1&keywords=party+sandals+without+strap

Please advise.

Thanks
Nakul

  A shoe must be worn with the brace at all times. The brace lifts the shoe, which brings the toes with it. This isn’t a brace that would work with a shoe like that .

My wife order this for me and what a difference it has made.This step smart brace is amazing. It has change my life so much. I never used a plastic one but used several different types that were of the velcro type. This is so much better. My walking has improved so much more . Am walking a lot better and do more walking. Also this brace has helped with my standing. Before could not stand unless used a cane or grab on to something to steady myself. Now can stand with no problems. This has changed my life for the better.

Heather – June 28, 2016

I received my brace yesterday and LOVE IT! I have had dropped foot for about a month now and was wearing a boot that was really more for ankle injuries – but I had it on hand. WHAT a difference this brace has made! I am able to walk now (pretty much completely normal!) – still have PT for a few weeks – but I think this brace can only help me improve. The PT had recommended a plastic, custom one that was going to cost $800-$1800! I just couldn’t justify this – in case my scenario does improve with the exercises. I HIGHLY recommend this brace – thank you for creating it!!!!
