Re: Padded inserts to keep heel down

[Guest guest]

Daiga,

Thanks! That helped a lot. the padding that seems to sit above the

heel do you think that's something that can be put on mitchell sandal?

I am planning on emailing mitchell about that as soon as we get

through our Physical therapy eval. Who knows maybe they can come up

with something too.

Thank you so much for that info!!

,

I'm not sure if these will go into the sandals. These are

the plastizote inserts that typically were inserted into the Markell

boots. Since the redesign of the Markell boots (last fall), I don't

believe that the inserts are routinely used anymore. I know that we

haven't needed them with the new design. Sorry I couldn't be of more

help!
