Randy,

I have one experience with this type of situation. A 50 yro male approx. 275#
bilateral TT secondary to trauma from MVA. Scar tissue and skin graft over
the entire RL, lot's of adherent scar tissue. Used FF VSP. Tried every liner
in the book (Tech - both custom and non custom, Dermo and Alpha) with and
without shuttle. Shuttle is a huge mistake, but did it at client's
insistance. Skin break down out the ying yang with every thing we tried and
he really did not walk that much. Huge failure.While this case was alot more
of a problem than yours, you have an up hill battle. If it were me I would
try the following:

a) custom Tech liner
b) suction suspension w/o shuttle - use asuction sleeve of your choice.
c) OWW pathfinder or if weight is concern, use Springlite Luxon Max with very
soft soft heel and toe. I have had good experiences with both these feet.

Good luck. Please let us know how you make out.

Paul
