Advice & Tips
I also have a less effective bespoke boot for outdoor wear. I cannot get my foot into a traditional shoe, as my toes buckle and drag. This boot opens down the middle to the toe and velcroes shut. It is not well made and it is not attractive but it does maintain my foot position and protect my toes

Advice & Tips
August 21, 2011 I fell and made my thighs sore whwn my legs were bent back. This weakend the muscles and prevented me from taking steps. The muscles were weaker after that, I can no longer walk. I now use my AF orthotic to protect my feet and legs while in the wheel chair. Sleeping with them usually results in pain in my foot or leg from different pressure points from the horizontal AF orthotic.

Advice & Tips
It helped my walking but made it harder to go up steps because of the increased weight.
