How Does the Boxia Plus Drop Foot AFO Brace Work?
The Boxia Plus Brace helps to elevate the front of the foot, making clearance easier and more seamless during the swing phase of your gait. For those with reduced mobility, this makes walking much easier and reduces the risk of tripping over everyday obstacles like carpets, pavements and any uneven surfaces. The Boxia Plus works with your natural gait pattern by allowing standard ankle movement when landing on your foot.
The Boxia Plus Ankle Brace consists of two separate components: a strap that comfortably wraps around your foot above the ankle and a non-slip hook that is secured between your shoe's tongue and laces. These sections are connected by an elastic strap which provides a customised adjustment level of dorsiflexion (foot-lift). The ankle strap has gel padding for increased comfort and support around the Achilles.
Even More Padded Comfort
The Boxia Plus is the upgraded version of the Boxia Drop Foot AFO Brace. This new version features more contoured padding for an even more comfortable fit, perfect for sustained, all-day use. While the new version improves comfort, it does not sacrifice the lightweight and sturdy build of the original Boxia.

The Boxia Plus Splint is available in three sizes that should suit most users. To find your ideal fit, please measure the ankle circumference just above the ankle bone, then consult the table below:

Our Guide to Finding the Perfect Size and Fit
Using Your Shoe Size
For most of our insoles, the easiest way to find the best size for you is to go off of your current shoe size. The majority of our insoles are available in a range of sizes and you can simply select the size that best fits your existing shoes.
Please be aware that, as with shoes, there can be slight variations in the size of insoles. For example a size 8 of one brand might not be exactly the same size and width as the size 8 of another. To help account for these discrepancies, a number of our insoles include dimensions to help you ensure you're getting the right size.
Measuring Your Current Insoles
While using your shoe size to find your best size is a good guide, it is not always foolproof. If you want to guarantee that your insole fit your shoes as closely as possible, we recommend measuring your existing insole and using this as a guide to your size.
To do this, please follow the steps outlined below:
- Remove the existing insole from the shoes you wish to use your new insoles with (please note that not all insoles are removable)
- Measure the insoles at their longest and widest points (see the below diagram for an idea of where this will be
- Match the measurements to the dimensions of the insoles listed, and choose the size that best fits your results

Where Can I Find the Dimensions?
The dimensions for insoles can be found on the "Product Details" tab (please see below) and are usually found in the sizing section of the listing, in a table. Please be aware that not all products currently have the dimensions listed.
The dimensions of insoles can usually be found on the "Product Details" tab
What If There Are No Dimensions Listed?
If you do not see the dimensions listed on the Product Details tab, please fill in the form below and we will work to get the relevant information as quickly as possible. We will email you once we have the information that you have requested.
Trimming Your Insoles to Fit
To get the ultimate level of fit from your insoles, you can trim them to make a small adjustment. To trim your insoles, simply follow the steps below:
- Remove your existing insoles from your shoes
- Line up your existing and new insoles at the heel
- Trace the outline of the insoles against the new pair at the toe end (see the image below for an example)
- Carefully cut along the traced line
- Your insoles should now fit your shoes better
Carefully trace the outline of your insole
Please note that not all insoles are suitable for trimming. Most insoles are unsuitable for return once they have been trimmed to fit; we recommend bearing this in mind prior to trimming.
