Orthoses and Supports
Ventilation under plastic supports (orthoses) is improved by wearing fishnet panty hose. This can be especially useful in the summer.
Leaving leg braces (supports) in the shoes provides an instant shoe horn which may help when slipping the shoes and braces onto your feet.
Don't try to trim plastic orthotic supports by yourself. Even using a sharp tool to carve the plastic can cause it to weaken.
