Guest guest Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 Hi Bob from Ohio, I have worn the AFOs for about 1 1/2 years now. In the winter I wear silk long johns under my pants and it really helps to keep my legs warm without bulking up my bottom half. I found the best place to get these are from Eddie Bauer outlet on-line, because I'm so tall (they come in tall). They also sell them at some of the sports stores. Still have not figured out how to keep my legs from getting so hot in the summer, though. I'll take any suggestions on that, also. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2003 Report Share Posted May 18, 2003 Hi Connie, I like your idea about the silk long johns but being a 57 year old man I not real sure if I want to get into wearing silk underwear. However, if it works I will do it. This fall I will try to have some to try out. I might start first with silk knee heigh socks. I am a computer programmer and set at a desk while at work and will use almost anything that will keep my feet warm. Yes, my feet get very hot in the summer. I asked if I could drill holes in the braces but was told they would weaken and crack. I enjoy taking them off when I get home and using the garden hose to run cold water over my legs and feet. It makes my wife laugh and I'm not sure what the neighbors think, ha ha. Thanks for the advice, CMT-Bob Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 My AFOs are formed to my high arches, no way are they flat. Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
