I was fitted for an AFO......they made a mold of my lower leg and foot and the end result was a product that was so hard and uncomfortable that it was unusable. Plus it was impossible to find a shoe that would fit with the AFO. Wasted time and money. The lightweight carbon fiber AFO sounds like something I would be interested in if insurance covers it. I'll check into it.
