KeepingPace, Inc., founded by Lori Watson, the parent of a
special needs child, has developed the first fashionable and durable shoe that
fits easily and quickly over a brace/afo without being oversized for children
who require braces to support their legs and feet.
"I was amazed that the shoes available would always be out of date and
never took into account the latest fashions for these children," said
Watson. "We know how difficult it is to find special shoes that are
contemporary, need little if any adjustment and are easily available and
affordable."
In developing the shoe, Watson brought together a team of other parents of
special needs children, top orthotists, designers and a specialty footwear
manufacturer Soletech, who worked for eighteen months to create an athletic
shoe, the first of many styles, that met the team's vision.
KeepingPace shoe incorporates many features essential to this unique specialized market:
- Contemporary fashion and stylish look
- Engineered internally with adjustable depth technology
- Wider heel and toe box that accommodates the orthosis without compromise
- Distinctive sole with increased contact surface promoting greater
medial/lateral stability
- Ankle to toe speed lacing with locking eyelets for faster and ease of
wearability
- Geometrically-graded last that ensures precision fit
- Fray resistant lining and high abrasion resistant toe cap to ensure
durability
In conjunction with its strategic partner Soletech, KeepingPace plans to expand
its line of footwear in the near future. KeepingPace plans to create a
foundation aimed at providing grants for research into many aspects of cerebral
palsy and other children disabilities and to which it will donate a portion of
its profits. |
