VASYLI + PRIOR
LOW-PROFILE SPORTS ORTHOTIC
STYLE: 71VP
The association between VASYLI Medical and Trevor Prior, a UK podiatric surgeon and sports podiatrist, goes back many years.
When asked about any gaps in the availability of prefabricated orthotics, Trevor immediately suggested the need for a low-profile cleated sports footwear device.
It’s uniquely challenging to accommodate an orthotic device with this style of footwear. The lack of heel depth, tight glove-like fit, soft leather, and narrow and flat profile of the stud/cleat plate all contribute to a difficult environment in which to control the foot.
Nonetheless, Trevor felt there was a need to provide a cost-effective alternative for recreational, amateur, and professional athletes.
By utilizing sophisticated in-shoe sensor technology to optimize design, Trevor created an orthotic profile that enhances fit and biomechanical performance. The VASYLI + Prior sports orthotic is an essential addition to the VASYLI Signature orthotic range.
THE VASYLI + PRIOR INCORPORATES SEVERAL INTRINSIC DESIGN FEATURES:
A subtle 4mm heel raise is perfect for tight posterior muscles and associated conditions such as Achilles tendinitis.
The rearfoot post of 3° + the 4mm raise forms a smart medial wedge, giving control without the “bulk.”
A low-profile medial arch contour ensures comfort, while the high-density heat-moldable shell provides further customization, enhancing fit and performance.
The intrinsic forefoot contours balance the unique forefoot loads experienced with studs or cleats. It further enhances 1st ray plantar flexion, facilitating hallux dorsiflexion.
This in turn assists in instigating the windlass mechanism — promoting high-gear propulsion, stabilizing the forefoot, and locking the midfoot for maximum power transfer during heel up and toe off.
