Surestep
Surestep is the most effective means of providing stability to children who pronate. Children with low muscle tone who have trouble with stability due to pronation can now walk, run and jump with this patented, dynamic bracing system. We understand that a child might be resistant to the idea of wearing orthotics. Some styles are rigid and can restrict movement. That’s why Surestep is different. Surestep products use the unique patented principle of compressing the foot into alignment. Through the use of an extremely lightweight, thin and flexible plastic, Surestep allows for a more natural walking motion, along with a wide range of motion.

Cascade Dafo
Children learn movement by moving. Rather than bracing heavily, we want the foot and ankle to experience as much useful movement as possible. A child needs to explore foot and ankle position in a guided range—like guardrails on a highway, with the freedom to move ahead but with protection from danger.
That's why we believe in creating orthoses with as much flexibility as possible along the planes where a child has good control, providing support only where needed.
