• a leg strut extending from the leg holder;
• an instep strut having a coupler for attachment to a dorsal section of the footwear during use and two arms extending rearwardly from the coupler, to two respective ends;
• a foot strut having two hinge members, each hinge member extending downwardly and forwardly from the leg strut until each one reaches a junction on a corresponding side of the user's foot during use, the junctions forming a structural connection with a heel member, the heel member having two proximal portions extending downwardly and rearwardly from each one of the junctions and merging with one another at a distal portion, forming a loop between the two junctions, the distal portion being engaged with a heel portion of the footwear during use, the junctions each having an opening receiving a corresponding one of the ends of the arms of the instep strut, the instep strut forming a crescent between the two arms and bridging the two junctions to one another while extending forwardly from the junctions;
• wherein the foot strut and the heel member form part of a same component made of a same material extending continuously across the junctions between the foot strut and the heel member.
