If you have any questions about sizing please don’t hesitate to contact us at support@opedmedical.com for assistance. If you are in between sizes we generally recommend that you choose the smaller size. If you have a very large calf you may require additional accessories to accommodate (Liner Extension and Extra Long Strap).
Note on treating Achilles tendon injuries in the equinus position: With a fixed angle setting between + 15° and +20°, please use the wedge sole (Figure 18). The wedge sole needs to be ordered separately.
