  • Patent number: 6412198
    Abstract: A forefoot support system 60 for supporting a hyperpronating forefoot 20 both dynamically while the forefoot 20 is in motion and statically is disclosed. The forefoot support system 60 is a bed upon which the forefoot 20 rests which includes an inner edge 62 and an outer edge 64. The forefoot support system 60 is positioned underneath the medial column of forefoot 20. The forefoot support system 60 laterally decreases in thickness from the inner edge 62 to the outer edge 64. The inner edge 62 is positioned along the medial side of the forefoot 20, and the outer edge 64 is positioned longitudinally in a zone substantially between a lateral margin of the hallux 48, the proximal phalanx 46, and the first metatarsal 36 and a medial margin of the phalanges 47 of the second toe and the second metatarsal 38.
