Foot device

A method of using a foot device, the foot device configured to receive a foot of a user, the foot device including a generally U-shaped portion having an arcuate portion, a first leg and a second leg, the first leg and the second leg extending from the arcuate portion, each leg having an end and a relief area disposed adjacent the respective end, the method comprising:

• engaging the arcuate portion with a heel of the foot to form a first point of contact;
• engaging the first leg of the arcuate portion with a lateral portion of the foot such that the weight of the foot is transferred from the first point of contact along the first leg of the arcuate portion;
• disposing the relief area of the first leg proximate a fifth metatarsal head of the foot such that the fifth metatarsal head drops to form a second point of contact;
• engaging a front portion of the foot device with fourth, third, and second metatarsals such that the weight of the foot is transferred medially from the second point of contact along the front portion of the foot device;
• disposing the relief area of the second leg proximate a first metatarsal head of the foot such that the first metatarsal head drops to form a third point of contact;
• disengaging the arcuate portion from the heel of the foot to eliminate the first point of contact;
• disengaging the relief area of the first leg from the fifth metatarsal head to eliminate the second point of contact;
• and
• disengaging the relief area of the second leg from the first metatarsal head to eliminate the third point of contact, wherein the weight of the foot is smoothly transferred between the first, second, and third points of contact to form a dynamic triangle.
