Surestep is the most effective means of providing stability to children who pronate when standing and walking. This patented, dynamic system allows children to gain stability, while still allowing normal movement and function. Children with low muscle tone who have trouble with stability due to pronation can now walk, run and jump without the delays and instabilities that often result. Surestep is not a different brace, but rather a completely unique system that manages the foot and ankle without over-managing. Surestep is a revolutionary concept in bracing, specifically designed for children with normal to lower muscle tone who:

-Realize moderate to severe pronation when standing and/or walking.

-Display a general instability when pulling to stand and during cruising.

-Have developmental delays and are late in learning to advance beyond cruising around furniture.

A brand‑new outcomes study by the Hanger Institute for Clinical Research & Education shows that Sprout3D™, Surestep’s 3D‑printed cranial helmet, helps improve head shape more effectively than traditional helmets.

Babies treated with Sprout3D saw greater symmetry improvement—about 10% more correction on average when researchers accounted for age, severity, and treatment time.

💭 Myth: Kids with hypotonia are weak.
✅ Fact: Kids with hypotonia can actually be very strong! Low tone simply means decreased muscle tension at rest—not a lack of strength.

Every child’s potential is incredible, and with the right support, they can thrive. 💙

At 15 months, Annie still wasn’t walking. Her mom, Katy, wasn’t too worried at first because late walking ran in the family. But as the months passed, Annie’s pediatrician recommended physical therapy and further evaluations.

Annie was ultimately diagnosed with a mix of hypermobility, mild hip dysplasia, and pronation that led to a gross motor delay.

Fast forward to today, and this little rockstar has come so far! She started walking in September and just picked up her very first pair of Surestep SMOs. They fit perfectly inside her BILLY Footwear, giving her the stability she needs to keep moving forward.

We’re so proud of you, Annie, you’re just getting started! 💙

Baby Rowan spent two months wearing the helmet to help correct his plagiocephaly diagnosis. After graduating from his treatment in August, he has been thriving!

Rowan’s mom, Michelle, shared that they were impressed with how lightweight the Sprout3D helmet is, adding, “My son was wearing this during the hot summer months, but we never had any issues with him being uncomfortable!”

She added that their experience with Sprout 3D was timely, sharing, “The day my son was measured, I was so impressed by how smoothly it went! We also received his Sprout3D very quickly (within a week), which I was grateful for as I knew how important the factor of time was with a child’s fast-growing head!”
