Claire works as an Administration Team Lead within the healthcare sector and has been living with Multiple Sclerosis for several years. Like many people with MS, her symptoms can vary from day to day, meaning some days she can remain active, whilst others can be much more challenging. One of her biggest challenges is fatigue, particularly during periods of increased activity. As she becomes tired, she occasionally catches her toes, increasing the risk of tripping and making it difficult to enjoy the activities she loves. Whether spending time with family, or walking her dog, she became increasingly aware of every step she took. Claire discussed her concerns with Steeper Orthotist, John Innes, who recommended she trial the
Sstep fabric sock during longer periods of activity.
Regaining Confidence, One Step at a Time
After trying the Sstep, Claire found it made a real difference to her confidence and comfort when walking. She described the support as "
brilliant", particularly during longer walks where fatigue would usually begin to affect her mobility. On a family day out exploring, the Sstep provided the support she needed to stay comfortable throughout the day, allowing her to walk significantly further than she felt she could have without it. Claire now also wears her Sstep when walking her dog, helping her cover longer distances with greater ease and confidence.
