Melody,
It's very innovative, but at the same time, I'm worrying about the velcro straps now rubbing Alan's foot. Are you aware you can buy velcro dots that are small circles. The podiatrist had me buy some of them to put on the bottom of the gelpad to stick inside my shoes at the heel. I put two of them on the gelpad. One at the top and one at the bottom edge. Both on the layer that is between the pad and the shoe. See the dots in the right hand corner: https://www.fastenation.com/category...FRYHFQodUDf3xA Just a thought to keep in mind in case you have problems with the strips.
