What a shame that you can’t read before you insult. The script specified

both leather AND custom fitted.

I’m not aware of any commercially available leather ankle supports and from

the many responses I’ve gotten no one else is either.

Just for your information I used that knowledge to save the client a trip

buy casting him for a custom made device on the first visit. I’ve made

sweated leather supports before and will probably do it again when

indicated. I was just trying to follow the prescription as written.

Truth is I’m not afraid to admit that I don’t know everything and to ask for

help when I need it, sorry if that offends you.
