Clyde's X1 Blade for Turf Toe - Testimonial #27
X1 blade really works!
Mark Powell (Gland, Vaud) 8/10/2010 4:38 PM
I have suffered from big toe pain for years. I finally sought help when it got too bad to ignore. Years of running and basketball led to hallus limitus/rigidus in both feet that was recommended for surgery by a podiatrist. I declined to have surgery, and bought two X1 blades instead. I can run and play basketball with virtually no pain, and I can walk pain-free for the first time in years. I shopped a lot via internet before choosing what to buy, I thought the X1 blades seemed like the best bet, and I'm completely happy with them. I enthusiastically recommend X1 blades to people with hallux limitus/rigidus who want to remain active and avoid surgery.

Clyde's X1 Blade for Turf Toe - Testimonial #26
8/10/10 I am a collegiate wr who has suffered with turf toe for multiple seasons. The pain finally reached the point where I could barely walk let alone practice. After reading all the reviews regarding the X1 blade I decided to give it a try. After about a week of using the X1 Blade in my shoes and cleats I am extremely excited to report that the pain has receded tremendously and I am able to practice and run at almost 100%. Thank you Clyde for giving me the opportunity to finish my football career!!!>

PFS - Plantar Fasciitis Strap
Great interim product before delivery of custom orthotic. The PFS elastic arch strap maintains a continuous elastic tension on the painful plantar fasciia. I like it better than taping for mild to moderate plantar fasciitis, and it can be worn at night vs. a clunky night splint.

Bledsoe Wraptor Ankle Stabilizer
My customers like this product - the new strapping design is excellent and my customers can choose from either the regular lacing or speed lace. The bit of neoprene under the heel helps dramatically with slippage and their SpacerMesh lining helps wick moisture away. And is less expensive than the ASO.The Wraptor ankle brace prevents eversion or inversion by supporting the ankle in a biomechanically neutral position using non-stretch nylon figure-eight straps. The Wraptor is effective protecting the ankle either proactively or in the rehabilitation of acute ankle sprains. Fits both the right and left ankle. Also available with Speed Laces for quick application and removal.
Indications
Chronic and acute ankle sprains; abnormal eversion and inversion control; and as protective sportswear.
