Dear OandP-L members:
Thank you for your suggestion about where to find ski boot buckles. The overwhelming vote was for the local ski shop, which is what I have done in the past and will end up doing this time. There are a couple of suppliers listed, which could be useful, especially if you are needing these buckles more consistently than I am.
I had one request for a reference to the calf corset weight bearing AFO design that I mentioned in my initial post. This design is described in an article by Marty Carlson, et al. Thanks to Paul Prusakowski and his organization for making all the old JPO articles available online, so I can send you a link to the article:

Suggested ski boot buckle suppliers:
Local ski shop or snowboard shop
Try a company called M2. They don't have a web site but do have a catalog
they could mail you. They are located in Vermont. Phone: 802.655.2364 FAX:
802. 655.2303
www.ski-deals.com or 1800-595-0919. (I couldn't find buckles here, though it was suggested.)
<URL Redacted> (Nice, but expensive.)
Coyote Design in Idaho Falls, Idaho 206-736-8671
They incorporate the type of buckle you are describing in a suspension
device.
When I was working for Otto Bock A/Asia, I supplied such ski buckles to my
clients. These buckles were part of their prefab TT interim system for war torn
countries - name eludes me at the moment. Try the part nos. 21Y42 and 21Y43??

Give Feiner Supply a call for the buckle you want. However he will probably ask you to fax him a picture of the buckle you want.
