ToeOFF® 2 ½ & BlueROCKER® 2 ½
Now offering more Allard AFOs with half the heel height. All 2 ½ models include choice of wrap-around or D-ring straps, shorter wings, and a Starter SoftKIT™ included. It is easier to adapt ToeOFF® 2 ½ and BlueROCKER® 2 ½ to shoes with lower heel heights because there is a lower forefoot curvature and more space in the shoe toe box. ToeOFF® 2 ½ addition models available in camouflage, birch, and black.

Coyote’s New, Robust Easy-Off Lock Design
Coyote’s Easy-Off Lock is a lever-action airtight pin system giving dual-suspension pin security with the comfort of suction; it also works with elevated vacuum mechanisms. Coyote has improved the Easy-Off Lock with a new robust lock plate and lever design. Its patented lever mechanism makes doffing easy for amputees with hand strength issues. The airtight seal of the Easy-Off Lock prevents air from entering the bottom of the socket by creating negative pressure inside the socket (suction), which reduces pistoning even without a sleeve. This lock is also water-resistant.
