Dear List,
I dispense a handful of CROW boots a year, mostly for very sedentary clients
with wound issues.
I have one client that is very active in bilateral boots ( I have tried to
talk her and physician into using custom shoes, but they don’t want shoes,
and I think it is crazy, but ..I digress). I think it is due to her high
activity level her boots are constantly squeaking. I have tried many
designs over the years to address this issue, but nothing works really well.
The best solution I have found is a bit of olive oil in the areas that are
making the noise!
Looking for your design features that may help stop this???
I typically use an aliplast liner (or more) with polypro posterior shell.
Anterior shell same thing, but I try not to have the anterior shell “lock”
against the posterior shell, with aliplast riding over the posterior shell.
Any help??
I will post replies.
Thank you,
