PRODUCT DESIGN
We designed a new boot to aid people with foot, ankle and knee injuries. To create a new product, we had to understand users' needs, the client's expertise and health specialists' point of view.

M1 Boot helps in the rehabilitation of bad injuries and chronic problems. Therefore, comfort, safety and facility to overcome daily activities were important assets. This product presents relevant features, such as: versatility (you can wear it in both feet, in two size versions: short and long), plastic anatomic stems (to lower calf’s blood pressure and to perform x-ray exams), a fixing system (facilitates boot’s opening and closing without harming the fingers), a breathable lining (to neutralize heat, bacteria proliferation and bad odor) and a anatomic insole and sole (to absorb impact and improve knee and hip movements when walking).
