Foot Levelers Introduces SensiStep, Advancing Personalized Diabetic Foot Care

New custom orthotic line combines specialized cushioning and accommodation with more than 70 years of biomechanical expertise.

ROANOKE, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Foot Levelers, the world’s leading provider of hand-crafted custom stabilizing orthotics, is advancing diabetic foot care with the introduction of SensiStep™ and SensiStep+™, two innovative custom orthotics designed to provide specialized cushioning, comfort, and accommodation for patients with diabetes, prediabetes, and sensitive feet.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 40 million Americans are living with diabetes, while an estimated 115 million adults have prediabetes.¹ Drawing on more than 70 years of biomechanical expertise and clinical methodology, Foot Levelers developed the SensiStep line to address a broad spectrum of patient needs, from those requiring everyday cushioning and support to those needing more specialized pressure accommodation.

“Diabetic foot care is not one size fits all, and we believe patients deserve solutions designed around their individual needs,” said Jamie Greenawalt, President of Foot Levelers. “With SensiStep, we’re combining specialized cushioning and accommodation with the custom biomechanical support Foot Levelers has been known for since 1952. Our goal is to give healthcare professionals more options to help patients stay comfortable, supported, and active.”

A More Personalized Approach to Diabetic Foot Care

Diabetes can affect circulation, sensation, and pressure distribution in the feet, making appropriate cushioning and accommodation especially important. Because patients experience different levels of sensitivity and foot-health challenges, their orthotic needs can vary significantly.

The SensiStep line offers two distinct custom orthotic solutions:

• SensiStep | Control + Cushioning: Combines biomechanical support with specialized cushioning for lasting comfort and durability. Designed for a broad range of patients including those with pre-diabetes, diabetes, and sensitive feet who benefit from additional cushioning without sacrificing support.
• SensiStep+ | Accommodation + Cushioning: Designed for patients with more complex diabetic foot-care needs, featuring a uniquely accommodating material that provides advanced cushioning and pressure accommodation for sensitive or vulnerable areas.

Unlike conventional one size fits all inserts, both SensiStep and SensiStep+ are custom-crafted to address each patient’s unique foot structure. By incorporating Foot Levelers’ proprietary three-arch support technology alongside specialized cushioning and accommodation, the new line brings the company's established biomechanical approach to the evolving needs of diabetic foot care.

Building on More Than Seven Decades of Innovation

Since 1952, Foot Levelers has pioneered custom orthotic solutions grounded in clinical research, advanced technology, and personalized biomechanical support. The introduction of SensiStep and SensiStep+ extends that expertise into diabetic foot care, providing healthcare professionals with new options to address a wider range of patient needs.
