STRIPE as a reliable fastener for therapeutic shoes
Therapeutic shoes play a crucial role in safely mobilising patients. They are designed to relieve pressure on foot wounds, compensate for leg length discrepancies, and support a stable gait. Streifeneder has developed a therapeutic shoe that is not only functional but also remarkably lightweight, comfortable, and hygienic. A unique polyurethane blend reduces the weight of the outsoles, enhancing wearing comfort and making walking easier for patients with weakened muscles. Additionally, the inner lining and top layers of the insole are treated with antibacterial properties to promote hygiene.
To ensure that these shoes can be used easily and reliably in daily life, the fastening system is essential. This is where the STRIPE fastener steps in: it is intuitive to use, closes quietly, and provides a secure fit without the annoying noise of velcro or difficult handling, because the buckle not only closes magnetically but also mechanically. The STRIPE fastener makes these shoes the ideal choice for prioritising both comfort and efficiency.

STRIPE FW – intuitive, flat and perfect for medical use
The STRIPE FW was developed for use on shoes and is particularly impressive when quick donning and doffing is required. Especially in a medical environment, when therapeutic shoes have to be put on and taken off frequently for personal hygiene or wound dressings have to be changed. Unlike conventional Velcro fasteners, the STRIPE fastener is virtually silent and remains reliable even with frequent opening and closing. A smart fastener that makes everyday life easier and blends seamlessly into the design of therapeutic shoes.
