I stopped watching the floor
That is the honest difference. I used to walk with my eyes down the whole way to the shops. Last week I noticed I had been looking at the trees.

What people describe to us
The moment
The trip that never quite happens. Your toe clips the edge of a rug or the lip of a kerb, you catch yourself, and for the rest of the walk you are watching the floor instead of where you are going.
Who it's for
Anyone whose toe catches on carpet, thresholds or kerbs
Who it's for
People who have started watching the ground when they walk
Also for: Anyone who wants support inside an ordinary shoe, not a boot
How it works: 3 steps
- 1
Pull it on
Slide it over your foot like a sock, with the open panel over your toes.
- 2
Set the strap
Pull the elastic strap until your foot sits level. One tab holds it there.
- 3
Put your shoe on
Wear your usual shoe over the top. Take it off at night.
Simple on purpose. Complexity is the number one reason people send a product like this back, so we left it out.
What it does for you
Holds the front of the foot up
A light elastic strap runs from the ankle cuff over the top of the foot. It gently keeps your toes lifted as your leg swings through, so there is less to catch.
Fits in a normal shoe
It is fabric and elastic, about as thick as a sock. Wear it inside your usual lace-up or trainer — no plastic boot, no special footwear.
One strap to adjust
Set the lift once with a single hook-and-loop tab. After that it goes on like a sock, which matters if your hands are stiff in the morning.

Goes in my ordinary shoe
I tried a rigid one years ago and it lived in a cupboard. This is fabric, it goes in my trainer, and I forget it is there.

Easy on, a bit warm
Simple to pull on even with my hands the way they are. In summer my foot gets warm in it. I wear a thinner sock and manage.

Helps on carpet, less on grass
Indoors and on pavement it does what it says. On uneven grass I still take my time. Worth having, not a miracle.

Bought a second one the same week
One for each foot. Putting them on is now part of getting dressed and I do not think about it.

My daughter set the strap for me
She adjusted it once and marked the tab with a pen. Since then it is on and off like a sock.
