Who is the manufacturer? Did insurance cover it? I need an AFO for my right foot, I have one mounted in my left shoe already. Appreciate any info. Happy Holidays!

Look up under Turbo Med Orthotics. โ€œInfo@turbomedorthotics.comโ€ Mine is TurboMed Fs3000. My regular MD just wrote prescription for an AFO and I took it to an orthotics and they got me a demo and then made request thru insurance and they paid 100 percent for a new one. Took about 3-weeks total to receive it. Came with 5 clips for different shoes, this way I have Five pairs ready to wear. Itโ€™s really light weight and cool in summer. I wear it under my pants ๐Ÿ‘– now itโ€™s winter with my boots. Itโ€™s been great for me ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿค—โค๏ธKen

Kenu, my husband has something like this. But what do you mean by "5 clips"? He has had his now for several years and is so much better than the "clunky" one he originally had. But I would be interested in knowing more about this one. I Will definitely check out this site. Thank you. Mary

Does that bar bother your calf at all?

It's kind of attractive in a sporty way.
