The Elevate 360° Drop Foot Brace was created in conjunction with innovative foot and ankle surgeon Dr. Robert Faux. His drop foot patients were unsatisfied with the comfort and/or durability of available bracing options. Under his design guidance, the Elevate® Drop Foot Brace was created with these needs in mind. This brace is inconspicuous and versatile, yet very stable and comfortable. The Elevate Drop Foot Brace is versatile; sleek and stylish, it can be worn comfortably with the majority of male or female shoe styles on the market — even sandals! Elevate® Function The Elevate® brace showcases ease of use and predictable function. The brace wraps quickly around the ankle, attaching with Velcro. A buckle adds reinforcement and fit. The strong, durable lace easily slips onto the included Anchor Hook Kit, and lift angle is achieved and quickly released as desired with a simple to use dial created by BOA® Fit System. Elevate® Comfort The Elevate® brace was designed to replace uncomfortable, stiff, or bulky braces that go inside the shoe, and the growing number of cheap and unpredictable braces for outside of the shoe. Careful material selection created an amazingly lightweight (just 8 oz), yet sturdy and long-lasting brace. Elevate® Versatility The Elevate® can be customized to the need and liking of the patient. The design allows diversity in shoe styles, including sandals. Shoes without eyelets can be accommodated with ease using the Crop-a-Dile® Eyelet Punch (sold separately).
