SoleMates: Prosthetic Foot Shell Failure Protection

Our project’s focus is to extend the life of current foot shells that are sold in today’s market. Foot shells enable prosthetic users to wear shoes. Currently these shells are designed in a way where they fail in less than two months if used by active people. Our team has designed an insole and external sole for the foot shell to make it more robust and double the life of the shell.
