Impulse ™ FOOT Overview
With a foot plate composed of the same high-performing composite material found in the Pathfinder™, the Impulse™ Foot brings high-tech performance to lower cost feet.
Impulse™ SYMES FOOT System

The Impulse™ Symes System includes an Impulse™ Symes foot and a Symes Socket Adapter Kit. The keel of the Impulse™ Symes foot is curved at the same radius as the Symes Socket Adapter, eliminating the need for any type of interface plate and slightly lowering the clearance needed. The Symes Socket Adapter Kit allows angular adjustments (during the alignment phase) as well as length adjustments. The Impulse™ foot carries a weight limit of up to 250 pounds (115 kg).
