A – support
B – strap
Putting the product on
Pull the support on so that the spot where the strap attaches to the support is
located on the inside of the foot. The direction the strap needs to be wound
around the foot can be found on the end of the strap that attaches to the
support. The strap is wrapped around your foot and back of the ankle in a
fi gure 8. To do this, please do the following:
When wrapping the strap, please make sure there are no wrinkles. Bring the
strap under the sole of your foot toward the outside of your foot. By pulling
the strap you can stabilize the foot and ankle comfortably. Bring the strap
diagonally across the top of the foot and back around ankle. Bring the strap
diagonally forward, to the inside of the foot. Bring the strap under the sole of
your foot toward the outside of your foot to the top of your foot. Now fasten
the end of the strap to section of the strap that is underneath it.
Alternatively you can use the designs on the support to guide you. Blue dots
on the titanium-colored knit fabric indicate where the strap is supposed to
go. When wrapping the strap around your foot, follow the dots knitted into
the fabric, starting with one dot, going to two dots and then to three dots.
