4 Function

The device combines with a resilient multi-axial Multiflex ankle to give a smooth, stable walking
action and allow some compliance to uneven surfaces. The device comprises a lightweight, fiber
reinforced thermoplastic keel which gives a gentle rolling action through stance and features a
sandal toe for a more natural appearance—ideal for lower level activity users.
A range of heel heights can be accommodated via the serrated ankle interface. Multiflex Slim
features additional heel height capacity for a higher heel.
