Thanks for info

I have fought this roll within my AFO's for many years.

I pad the heck out of them (I guess like making underfoot orthos)

and get by but long term problems,pressure on the outside ankle.

3ED pair is more nutral and helps in this respect----my first pair

had a pre supination built into them. I can't get people in med

community to do what i request,,I demanded on last pair that two

people mold me (as aposied to one) and put presure to force my foot

into a nurtral position along with ankel + varis (EXTREAM) HEEL.

Thanks very much.

Rocky------------i need orthos in my AFO's!!!!Glued in to conture to

foot and help stop roll!!! beets padding everyday!!!!!!!!!

Thankyou

My problem seems to be that my toes fold under my foot

or something like that. Anyway, I trip now instead of

turning my ankles as I did 10+ years ago.

My walker seems to help balance me but I still walk

with a limp and the toes do their own thing. Brand new

canvas sports shoes that can be washed to hide my

dirty toes LOL. I feel safer with the walker as it is

one that as soon as I " fall foward " it brakes and

holds me up. The walker also has Bike handle brakes,

but I don't like to us them, my short hands has to

reach too far to use them and that hurts.. I wouldn't

tell my husband that for the world, he just spent

$200.00 on the walker I insisted would be the one that

would work. ADVISE: RENT FIRST BUY LATER !! see how

it works before putting good money into something that

you are going to depend on every day.
