How do we transform footwear to except a S.A.C.H. Heel? We will remove the original sole.
Our second task involves adding a shock absorber sort of speak. The added material constancy is sponge like but is denser. Our customer often say they feel instant relief in joint pain, particularly in their ankle area, back of the leg, knee and hip area.
We offer options in regards to the placement of S.A.C.H material. If you notice the shoe in Fig.1, and Fig.2 the soild ankle cushion heel is position in it's normal place in the rear of the footwear for pain at heel strike.
There are times when the S.A.C.H. material is elongated on the lateral side for individual who has little control during heel strike to mid-stance, rapid plantar flexion some call it foot slap. S.A.C.H. elongated on the lateral side can dampen rapid plantar flexion.
When the job is complete we will color the S.A.C.H. to match the color of the footwear Fig.3.
