For a client who needs their feet held firmly but has skin that will not tolerate a plain webbing strap, this shoe holder uses a padded strap with a buckle closure over the top of the foot.
The padding spreads load across the dorsum, and the buckle gives carers a clear, repeatable closure so the strap is done up the same way each time rather than pulled tighter each morning. Four sizes cover most adult and adolescent footwear.
It suits people with involuntary movement, low tone through the ankle, or a habit of pushing the feet off the plate during transfers.
