Thank you to all who have replied. A few of the feet may work. She really
wants a Proprio but due to the height of the foot and her weight, it is not
an option. We have about 3 inches of room for her foot once the lock is
counted, and she does not want to switch suspensions. She wants a foot that
will make it easier to walk on uneven surfaces. I'm looking for a very low
profile K3 foot with multi axial motion. Thanks again for replying.
