Bledsoe’s goal was to improve the recovery experience by replacing their existing walking boot with a full-shelled pneumatic design focused on structural support, patient comfort, and athletic design language. The 3D model of the walker boot is designed with extensive computer analysis to optimize strength and reduce material. The CAD package is scalable to 6 different production sizes to accommodate more users.
Current issues with existing boot design
Bledsoe wanted to develop the strongest and lightest boot on the
market. To achieve this, structural weak points were identified and eliminated
The design needed to address comfort and proper support for faster recovery
The aesthetic of the boot needed to reflect Bledsoe’s current visual language with inspiration from human anatomy and athletic style
Optimizing strength and support
Ideation for different structure techniques and assembly. From rough to refine sketches allowed the client and Point Innovation to create a clear vision for the Bledsoe Walker Boot.
