Hi All-
Does anyone have any experience or recommendations for fabricating foot orthoses (plastic pre-sulcus shell with met pad, foam/cushion top cover to end of toes) with additional gel or similarly durable cushion material at the heel, between the plastic and the top cover? I feel it must be doable but my technicians are hesitant.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Sincerely,

If you're always trying to be normal you will never know how amazing you can be.
