A foot support system includes a base to receive a sole of a foot, a cuff adapted to attach to a first portion of a leg near a knee of the leg, and a strap extending between the base and the cuff. The strap includes an elastic portion, a proximal segment attachable to the cuff, and a distal segment coupled to the base in proximity to a toe edge of the base. A strap holder may be included in certain embodiments of the invention to provide a relatively conforming fit to a wearer of the system, thereby allowing for a wider range of footwear options. An alternate embodiment of the invention may include a plurality of branches extending from the distal segment of the strap and adapted to fit between adjacent toes of a wearer in order to couple the strap to the base.
