Your gait pattern may be holding you back

Millions of people walk with a flat-footed, shuffling stride that drains energy, shortens steps, and quietly increases fall risk. Over time it limits how far you can go — and how much you enjoy getting there.

The good news

Gait can be improved at any age. With the right feedback, your brain adapts quickly — and you can walk more, with less pain, without needing a clinic visit every time.

How Heel2Toe™ helps

Every time you land a good heel-first step, Heel2Toe™ plays a real-time beep. That instant reward engages your brain’s dopamine system to reinforce a more normal gait pattern — automatically, with every walk.

How It Works

Simple technology. Powerful results.

1. Clip It On

Heel2Toe™ attaches to the side of your shoe in seconds. No straps, no insoles, no complicated setup.

2. Walk & Listen

Each time you land a proper heel-first step, Heel2Toe™ plays a positive auditory cue. This real-time feedback works through your brain’s dopamine reward system to reinforce better walking mechanics.

3. Track & Improve

Upload your walking data through the free Docking Station app. Visualize your gait quality over time on your computer, phone, or tablet. See your progress — and share it with your therapist.

What It Measures

More than a step counter — a gait laboratory on your shoe

Heel2Toe™ captures the biomechanical signals that matter most for walking quality and safety. Every session generates a detailed gait profile that clinicians and researchers rely on.

0–100 Score

Gait Quality Score

Overall walking quality captured in a single, easy-to-track number.

Force Pattern

Heel Strike Strength

How well you’re initiating each step with your heel — the foundation of safe gait.

Steps/Min

Cadence

Your step rhythm — steps per minute — a key indicator of walking efficiency.

Swing Phase

Foot Swing

How smoothly your leg moves through each stride — linked to trip and fall prevention.

Propulsion

Push-Off Power

The energy behind each step — directly tied to stride length and forward momentum.

Stance Phase

Balance Phase

How stable you are during the stance phase of walking — a critical fall-risk signal.

Fall risk is computed in real time from heel strike data combined with age. A 13-segment fatigue analysis detects when gait quality deteriorates during a walking session, so you know exactly when tiredness is affecting your safety.

Peer-Reviewed Research

Backed by science

Heel2Toe™ has been validated in 8 published peer-reviewed studies by researchers at McGill University and the University of Exeter, and recognized with national research awards.
