New Testimonial from Carl for Clyde's X1 Blade / hallux limitus

" After trying multiple orthotics and seeing 5 DPMs in the last month I can say that your blades are the best answer to dealing with Hallux Limitus of my type - which is called structural Hallux Limitus. The last DPM that I saw who is quite famous amongst DPMs strongly recommended that I get a Morton's extension and so after researching the subject I tried your product and several others. The difference I see in your product versus the pure carbon plates is that the plates are too hard and brittle throughout the whole shoe where there is no need for the stiffness making them very uncomfortable. The X blades are stiffest where you need it with a little bit of give - which is the best orthopedic solution. I use them in conjunction with an over the counter orthotic and I can walk or play a round of golf pain free. Also, my gait has improved since I don't have to supinate my foot to avoid the pinch in my toe. My profession for 25 years has been as a venture capitalist investing and managing clinical testing of medical devices throughout the world so I have a reasonable amount of experience enabling me to better investigate the efficacy of medically related products. I appreciate your product. "

NEW! Clyde's X1 Blade with Reverse Morton's Extension

Functional hallux limitus, rigidly plantar flexed 1st ray, and sesamoiditis can be treated with the new X1 Blade with a reverse Morton's extension modification. The reverse Morton's extension is an area of relief in the X1 Blade that reduces the jamming effect produced by Functional Hallux Limitus. The X1 Blade with Morton's extension is super thin (.04" thick) and super light (.4 oz) and works by off-loading the 1st ray. The X1 Blade also adds a bit of energy at toe off to improve the users overall gait and reduce pain. Due to the fact the X1 Blade is so thin it is only necessay to purchase one and place it under the in-sole of any average shoe.

Clyde's AcuStep Foot Orthotics

During my 35 years of experience as an ABC Certified Orthotist I have utilized many different techniqiues to fabricate custom orthotics for my clients. It was at times difficult to relieve my clients foot discomfort using the established foot-shape method. That all changed for me in 2001 by using a totally new approach, by disregarding foot shape and concentrating on in-shoe pressures using the amazing AcuStep system. Why the AcuStep is different... Traditional foot orthotics are fabricated based on the foot shape to either functionally support the flexible foot using a piece of hard molded plastic or accommodate the rigid foot using a cushion. In both instances there is inadequate peak pressure redistribution which is the principal cause of foot pain. AcuStep realized that building an orthotic based on "foot shape" was not adequate. Instead, AcuStep decided to take foot orthotic fabrication to the next level by using a totally new approach. By using a patented in-shoe system to measure peak pressures while walking or running, an orthotic can be milled that more precisely redistributes peak pressures while at the same time providing proper foot support. Since pain follows excessive pressure, this is the most effective way to acheive foot comfort and optimal performance.
