Finally, traction that moves with you — Approved by David duChemin
“Finally somebody put traction on the bottom of a footshell — it seems like a simple thing, but it makes such a difference.”
— David duChemin, photographer, adventurer, and below-knee amputee
When it comes to prosthetics, the smallest details often make the biggest difference. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the Traction Footshell — a sleek, waterproof upgrade designed for real-world conditions and tested by people who move.
We recently handed over our newest footshell to David duChemin, a renowned photographer and long-time user of prosthetic technology. Known for traveling the world with camera in hand and a deep respect for mobility and independence, David doesn’t settle for gear that doesn’t keep up. After putting the footshell through its paces, his response was clear: “It makes such a difference.”
What makes the Traction Footshell different?
-
Grip that moves with you – Designed with a textured sole that provides better traction on wet, uneven, or slippery surfaces.
-
Sleek and minimal – No bulk. Just performance.
-
Waterproof and durable – Ready for weather, terrain, and everyday wear.
This isn’t just a cosmetic cover — it’s a functional piece of your everyday mobility. Whether you’re walking city streets, photographing remote landscapes, or just moving through life on your terms, the Traction Footshell adds confidence to every step.
