Sigurdur Olafsson
Without Sstep ‘I get tired throughout the day and my drop foot worsens’ With Sstep ‘I feel less tired and more confident while walking’
My name is Sigurdur Olafsson, and I live with an autoimmune disease that weakens my muscles, primarily in my foot and left arm. While I don’t experience the typical drop foot, the weakness becomes more pronounced when I'm fatigued throughout the day. I've found that the Sstep is an invaluable tool in situations where a traditional AFO wouldn't be feasible. Whether I'm at the pool, the beach, engaging in activities like cycling or running, or even at work, the Sstep has provided immense support and significantly improved my quality of life.

Before Sstep ‘My ankle, knee, hip and back were in pain’ With Sstep ‘I walk further, longer and faster, pain free’
My name is Kristjan Egilsson, and I suffered a stroke 2 years ago at the age of just 34. Before discovering the appropriate brace, I struggled with constant fatigue from walking and pain in my lower back, hip and knee. Every step required immense effort, and I had to be extra cautious to avoid falling, especially on uneven terrain. The Sstep has completely transformed my mobility. I can now walk further and faster without pain, and with minimal physical and mental effort. It has granted me the freedom to enjoy activities I had forgotten, like taking walks on the beach and simply enjoying the outdoors. The Sstep has truly been a game changer for me.
Dollie Ebert
‘The Sstep has improved my life greatly, allowing me to stay on my feet all day!’
My name is Dollie Ebert, and I was diagnosed with CIDP, a disease that affects my muscles and makes walking difficult. I experience weakness in my legs, lungs, and arms, which presents significant challenges in my day-to-day life. My ability to walk can vary; sometimes I can walk well, and at other times I cannot walk at all. The sock has truly transformed my life, greatly improving my ability to walk. Prior to using it, my drop foot led to several serious falls. With the sock, not only has my quality of life improved immensely, but I can also swim, use it on my elliptical, and manage most daily activities with greater ease. As an active church member who sings on the worship team, I often need to stand for long periods, and the sock has been incredibly helpful with that. As a home-baker who sometimes caters weddings, I spend hours on my feet, and the Sstep has been an absolute blessing, enabling me to do what I love safely and more comfortably.
