I received my TurboMed AFO on Friday. After wearing a traditional plastic AFO for a few years, I found that it was so uncomfortable, especially in the hot weather, that I just stopped wearing it. Then I saw Kenu's post about the TurboMed and emailed the manufacturer (which is based in Canada) and it turns out they are in the US as well. With a script from the Dr., it was covered 100%. It is incredibly comfortable to wear and sometimes I forget I have it on. It is attached to the outside of your shoe so no worries about having to get a larger shoe so the AFO fits into it. The rep. came to my home and fitted it to my shoe and gave me extra parts so I could fit it into other shoes as well. It can even attach to sandals. But the best part is, it works!!

punterstein well done. I wish they were in the uk, the plastic AFO is as you say uncomfortable especially in hot weather. Thank you for sharing. Blessings Jimeka 🦋 🌈 🍫
Great to hear that it’s working for you 👍 I love mine compared to the old plastic one. Like you said it goes on almost all shoes and no more big shoe on other foot. 👍🐕🐩🐾🙏🙏😉Ken
For anyone in the uk, the Turbomed is available through Talarmade. I have to ring them tomorrow. I emailed Canada and they got back to me right away. I will let you know how I get on. Blessings Jimeka 🦋 🌈 🍫
