Propét Introduces AdaptaStep Recovery Shoe

AUBURN, Wash.—Propet, designers and manufacturers of footwear focused on comfort, style, fit and performance, introduced the revolutionary AdaptaStep™ recovery shoe, under its Propét Preferred therapeutic footcare line. AdaptaStep is a unique, patent-pending system specifically designed to help alleviate fluid build-up, speed healing and promote a quicker return to normal gait.

Developed in collaboration with renowned podiatric surgeon, Dr. Harold Schoenhaus, DPM, FACFAS, the AdaptaStep is the perfect solution for post-operation or post-trauma recovery. The Variable Flex Technology ™ system features removable inserts in the forefoot to allow for three levels of flexibility as the patient progresses in recovery. The soft, breathable upper allows for optimal air circulation and includes a nano-silver lining with naturally anti-microbial properties to minimize and inhibit infections. 

The AdaptaStep™ design advantages include a fully removable top and heel panel for easy application and bandage accommodation, as well as a cushioned insole with arch support. This design provides compression rather than constriction – thus helping to alleviate post-trauma edema and prevent further swelling often caused by tight straps. Additionally, the AdaptaStep recovery shoe is machine washable.

“With clinical studies and additional testing under way, we have already seen improved recovery in patients with patients using these shoes compared to what’s currently available. The technology enables the patient to stay in motion and get back to their natural gait and their normal footwear sooner,” says Schoenhaus. Learn more at propetusa.com/adaptastep.
