About LegStyle
LegStyle makes custom leg covers that are shaped for style, symmetry, and everyday durability. The goal is simple: to help people feel proud of their leg cover, and to keep doing the things they love.
Our story
Hi, I’m Andre, the founder of LegStyle. I’ve been an amputee since birth, and for more than fifteen years I’ve been designing and wearing my own leg covers.
When I was a teenager, I saw a cover that changed how I felt about my leg. It was bold and colourful. It did not try to look like a “real” leg. My prosthetist at the time, Trevor Brauckmann, made one for me and later painted custom designs on it. For the first time, I felt proud of how my prosthesis looked.
There was just one problem: I could not swim in it.
Any time I went to the beach or near water, I had to remove my whole prosthetic leg because the cover could not be taken off and I did not have a spare limb. I still went into the water, but it meant hopping instead of walking, getting tired faster, and working around a barrier that did not need to be there.
Years later, after moving to New Zealand and working as a product development engineer, I finally had the tools to try solving this properly. The early covers were rough. Some were heavy, fragile, or simply did not last. It took years of trial, error, and real-world testing before the designs became practical enough to share.
Around that time, I began volunteering at Peke Waihanga. I was introduced to clinicians who had patients asking for covers like mine, and that was the first time the work extended beyond my own needs. Their feedback shaped the designs and helped turn LegStyle from a personal project into something that could help others.
Today, LegStyle covers are made to be practical, durable, water-ready, and personal. Whether you want something bold or something quiet, the choice should be yours.
Why LegStyle
A cover should look good, last well, and not stop you from living your life. LegStyle covers are designed around real-world use, not just appearance.
Durable
Built from resilient materials designed to cope with daily knocks, movement, sand, and regular wear.
Lightweight
Designed to stay light enough for everyday use, so the cover does not feel like something extra to manage.
Water-ready
Made for real life around water, including swimming, surf, showers, and wet weather. Rinse with fresh water after salt use.
Simple to live with
Designed to fit without modifying the prosthesis, and to be removable without tools or unnecessary complexity.
Shaped to suit you
Each cover is shaped using scan information, measurements, and design choices so it can suit the person wearing it.
Style, on your terms
Some days you want to stand out. Some days you do not. A cover can be bold or subtle, and the choice stays yours.
How we work
LegStyle works with clinicians and prosthetists to make sure each cover is designed around the person, the prosthesis, and the practical fitting requirements.
Patients can start by choosing a style and colour they like. Clinicians then help confirm suitability, provide scan information, and place the order.
Policies and background
LegStyle is still growing, and part of that growth is being clear about how the work is developed, shared, and improved over time.
