Adjustable Shin Support Height/ Foot Straps
One pair of stilts for multiple users! Yes that is now an option. Many troupes and schools have requested a system in which the stilts can be shared. We have been supplying those for a couple of years now and have worked thru the design process. A heel plate is added to our standard footplate (Size 8 women’s or Size 10 men’s) A simple criss cross of a heavy duty 1” Polypro Webbing thru 4 D-rings over the shoe secures you to the footplate. This option is best used in simple parading around and not recommended for acro stilting or floor work. It is recommended that you bolt your shoes to the footplate for those heavier uses.
Shin height supports can be in a range that suites many different body types. As an example, we have found that for taller folks with larger feet have a shin height range between 16”,17”and 18”. For folks closer to 5’ in overall height and a smaller foot those shin support heights can be 15”,16” and 17”. Technically a shin support can be lower on the shin but not higher, having a shin support interfere with the full bending of the knee is to be avoided. In order to adjust the shin heights, you must partially dismantle the stilts and move the bolts into the appropriate holes on the bottom of the shin support pole. Please refer to photos for clarification.
All stilts come with a bare aluminum finish. However, imagine the option to color your stilts in a wide palette of choices. We are happy to provide the colorization of your stilts by means of Powder Coating (the color of your choice is electrostatically bonded to the aluminum and baked on to a fine finish) This is an incredibly durable finish and is the same process used to paint bicycles. Black or White are the color choices for the block that lives between the shin and leg support.

!! I LOVE MY PEGS !!
These stilts are well made & have a super comfortable shin mount! The padding provides comfort for hours of dance and the Velcro strap is strong and secure. They were easy to assemble & the video guide was super helpful when it came to the dreaded shoe placement. Disassembling these for travel came with ease :)! I love the fact that I can have once set of perfectly placed shoes and easily go from 2 ft to 3 (or higher ;P). The peg has an amazing grip that provides stability!
Would recommend Stilt Factory stilts 100% !!!

These are fantastic stilts! Really well made and comfortable to walk in. All the materials feel very high quality, and I especially appreciate how good the traction is with the rubber feet while also providing a bit of cushion with each step! The stilts are super easy to assemble and disassemble, and both the video and paper instructions were easy to follow. The whole process of purchasing to receiving the stilts was really great, and I’ll definitely be returning for all my future stilt-related needs!
