The person who fitted it for you needs to watch you walk with it, to see what the problem is.
I have only used the rigid ones, a molded light plastic one that goes down the back of my leg, and a Toe-Off graphite one. Both came from JE Hanger, a prosthetics and orthotics company. They always had me come back after a few days with it to adjust any problems. -
I went to Hanger myself and they replaced my original one with a different type as I was not happy with it, it was a carbon fiber one and mfg guarantees that you are happy with it.Plan for the future, but not too hard; it’s not your decision anywayComment
