Although when I first put it on and took my first step I almost fell on the floor. I was not expecting as much forward flex in the ankle as the boot cast totally immobilized my ankle. It will take a while to get used to it. It is so much more comfortable though. /sigh of relief.

Good for you! This will be so much better for you! I need to go and get a new one, but I think here in Saskatchewan, we may be abit behind in the technology, have not seen one that looks like yours. Hope it works well for you!
