Hello List,
I have seen this inquiry before but would like to re-visit the question to see if anyone has a solution as of yet.

I have a very active female patient with a very flexible multi-axial foot that she absolutely loves. Unfortunately she also loves having a nice cover and cosmetic skin. The silicone skin we are using is one she loves due to excellent color match and split toe to accommodate her footwear. The problem is the Achilles area of the foot splits out within 3 weeks leaving her relatively unhappy due to the cost for the cosmetic skin and short lived lifespan.

Has anyone out there solved this technical mystery. I would love to hear about your successes so I can make a nice lady much happier!
Thank you!
John Boldt, C.P.O.
