My original question was:
My colleague is working with a transtibial amputee who wears size 17
shoes. Does anyone know of resources for prosthetic feet in this size? Any
help will be greatly appreciated.
The responses are as follows:

The only success I have had with very large feet is to get them custom made
by Kinsley.
Any company who makes a carbon fiber foot pretty much laughed at me when I
asked if they could make a large foot.
I had a patient with a size 16 foot and Freedom innovations can make the
foot. The problem you are going to find is that footshells come only to
size 13 and nobody has them any larger. Bulldog also has a 40mm tube.
The Size 16 either KO1 or KO8 from Kingsley is actually a little oversized.
Freedom Innovations can custom-make feet and I imagine they can create this
size. Good luck!
springlite/otto bock will custom make
17 would be roughly a 32 cm foot. I know that I have gotten size 30cm feet
from freedom Inovations in the past. They will do custom one offs.
Thanks for the input
