Shelly is a Professional Snowboarder on the World Circuit and competes at the World X-Games. She was referred by her sports physician to help an injury to her back and hip. The forces from the mid air tricks places large loads on Shelleys feet, ankles, knees, hips and back, especially when landing. Bigfoot were consulted to improve the landing position of her body when snowboarding. A snowboarder requires shock abosrption when landing and after analysing and discussing with Shelley what was required we created our first customised snowboard orthotic. Comfort and feeling grounded were important requirements for Shelly when landing when we created the insole. We used specliased foams to achieve this in the orthotic.
We wish Shelley all the best as she jumps her way all over the ski fields of the world.
"2 days riding on the orthotics and they have been awesome. No teething problems at all with the first few days. really comfy right from the start. Thanks great job!"
