We are happy to give you more information about our bandages and how to use and care for them. Read our information below:
For which complaints should I wear a foot support?
There are many different types of foot supports, and they can be used for all kinds of injuries and conditions. A foot brace always provides support and can be used for the following conditions, among others:
- Clap foot
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Osteoarthritis
- Instability problems
Support after surgery
We also have bandages especially for hallux valgus in our range. A foot orthosis provides relief and support in case of injury, but also during sports. It can be used in sports such as volleyball, hockey, football and basketball. These are sports where the feet and ankles are heavily loaded and injuries are common. Wearing a foot support also reduces the likelihood of old foot injuries returning.
How long should I wear a foot brace?
How long a foot support should be worn strongly depends on the complaint. It is best to contact your therapist or our customer service team. Our team consists of medical specialists who will be happy to provide you with information and assistance.
What size braces do I need?
Which size you need is a very delicate matter. Podobrace has various foot braces in its product range. You can view the desired product page and read the size chart. If you follow the instructions carefully, you can be sure that you always get the right size. Does the brace still not fit? No problem. You can always return and exchange the products free of charge.
How long does a foot support last?
The lifespan of a foot support strongly depends on the type of brace and the degree of use. How quickly a foot brace wears out also depends on the frequency of use, moisture production and friction forces. On average, a foot support should be replaced after 1 to 1.5 years of normal use. A foot brace will last longer if you take good care of it.
