ABSTRACT:
A stabilizing strap (80) for external use with a shoe (98) includes a plantar strap (82), a first dorsal strap (84), a second dorsal strap (86) and an Achilles strap (94). Dorsal strap (84) is attached at one end to the medial end of plantar strap (82) and at one end thereof dorsal strap (86) is attached to the lateral end of plantar strap (82). Achilles strap (94) is attached at one end thereof to the medial end of plantar strap (82). A ring clasp (96) is attached to the lateral end of plantar strap (82) for receiving the free end of Achilles strap (94) and for cooperating therewith to enable adjustable tensioning of the strap about shoe (98). Eyelets (88) are provided along the edges (90, 92) of dorsal straps (84, 86). A lace (106) is provided to extend between edges (90, 92) of dorsal straps (84, 86) and to be received in eyelets (88) to thus adjustably tension the dorsal straps about shoe (98). By tensioning the dorsal straps (84, 86) and the Achilles strap (94), a stabilizing force can be directed along the line of movement of the infratalar joints of the foot to prevent excess pronation thereof during exercise.
