Saebo Barefoot Accessory

The most comfortable and convenient “foot drop” brace or soft Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) brace on the market today. This soft ankle and foot brace is designed for those who suffer with limited movement or weakness resulting from stroke, multiple sclerosis, neurological disorders or nerve injury.

Description

Overview: Safe Mobility, Even Without Shoes

The Saebo Barefoot is a specialized accessory designed for the SaeboStep to ensure your recovery doesn’t stop when you take your shoes off. While the standard SaeboStep requires a lace-up shoe for leverage, the Saebo Barefoot sleeve allows you to navigate your home safely while barefoot or in socks. It provides the same dependable toe lift you expect outdoors, adapted for the comfort and safety of your indoor environment.
How it Works: The Indoor Anchor System

The accessory acts as a proxy for your shoe’s eyelets, creating a secure attachment point directly on the foot.

  • Mechanism: The Saebo Barefoot is a lightweight, non-slip sleeve made of medical-grade silicone that slides over the midfoot. It features integrated hooks positioned exactly where a shoe’s eyelets would be.
  • Seamless Integration: The SaeboStep’s high-strength Spectra Cords clip directly onto these hooks. When the dial on the ankle cuff is turned, the tension pulls against the sleeve, lifting the foot just as it would with a sneaker.
  • Proprioceptive Input: Because there is no bulky plastic between your foot and the floor, you maintain maximum sensory feedback from the ground, which is essential for improving balance and natural walking patterns.

 

How it Helps: 24/7 Protection and Recovery

  • Prevents Indoor Falls: Many falls occur during nighttime trips to the bathroom or moving between rooms in socks. The Barefoot accessory keeps your toes elevated in these critical moments.
  • Hygienic and Comfortable: The SaeboStep Barefoot accessory is constructed from washable, medical-grade Breath-O-Preen material and non-slip silicone. This advanced, open-cell fabric is designed for superior breathability and moisture-wicking, allowing for long-term wear without skin irritation or heat buildup. The durable, sanitizable design ensures optimal hygiene for patients who require consistent foot-drop support while indoors or without footwear.
  • Supports Aging in Place: By making the home environment safer, it allows individuals to maintain their independence and move freely without needing to put on shoes for every movement.
