Devices and systems for providing dynamic foot support to a user are described.
A device includes a heel support shelf, a foot support shelf, and a dampening device
that allows relative motion of the heel support shelf with respect to the foot
support shelf. When a wearer has on footwear that includes such a device, his or
her foot is bent and flexed within the footwear during natural walking motion,
thereby promoting blood flow, preventing stress, increasing comfort and reducing pain.
