The latest in Drop Foot Fashion

Last week, I had a cast made of my leg, so that a custom brace could be made.  Can't say that I am a fan of it.  It does help me walk better, but it is far from comfortable.  Plus, I have to wear it with tight fitting lace up shoes at all times. So, even at home, I can't take off my shoes and relax, nor can I comfortably cross my legs or ankles (like in the recliner). However, without the brace, I'm just flopping around when I walk, subjecting myself to falls. So, I'm not sure this is going to be a long range "fix" for me.  The jury is still out on that part.
