This custom-made brace stabilises key joints, including the ankle, subtalar, and midtarsal joints, to support proper alignment and reduce pain. By limiting unwanted movement, the Richie Brace helps patients regain mobility and improve overall foot health.
How Is the Richie Brace Fitted?
When you come to the Footcare Clinic for a Richie Brace fitting, we’ll take a mould of your foot and ankle to ensure a custom fit. This mould is then used to create a brace tailored to your unique needs, providing the most effective support and comfort. Once your Richie Brace is ready, we’ll help you with adjustments and show you how to wear it properly for maximum benefit.
Will I Be Able to Walk Normally with the Richie Brace?

At the Footcare Clinic, we aim to help our patients return to daily activities as comfortably as possible. Some patients may need a brief adjustment period, but our team will work with you to ensure a comfortable fit and to help you get used to the brace quickly.
How Long Will I Need to Wear the Richie Brace?
The duration of wearing the Richie Brace varies based on each patient’s condition and goals. At the Footcare Clinic, we provide guidance on how long you may need to wear the brace, and we’ll assess your progress during follow-up appointments.
