ABSTRACT:
A stabilizing strap (25) for exterior use with a shoe (28) including a dorsal strap (26), an Achilles strap (30) and a plantar strap (32). One end of the dorsal strap (26), the Achilles strap (30) and the plantar strap (32) are connected together at a point (34) on the medial side of the foot. The other end of the plantar strap (32) is attached to two connecting straps (36) and (38). Two ring clasps (42) and (44) are attached to the end of the connecting straps (36) and (38) for receiving the free ends of the dorsal strap (26) and the Achilles strap (30). A fibrous layer (52) and a hook-like layer (50) are disposed on the exterior of the Achilles strap (30) such that the free end thereof can be pulled through the ring clasp and attached thereto. A fibrous layer (48) and a hook-like layer (46) are disposed on the exterior of the dorsal strap (26) to provide a similar attachment. By tensioning the dorsal strap (26) and the Achilles strap (30), a stabilizing force can be directed along the line of motion of the infratalar joints of the foot to prevent excess pronation thereof during exercise.
