I have had some success with a ortho wedge shoe which an orthotist makes for
my diabetic patients with fore-foot ulceration. The original ortho-wedge
shoe is not always available in South Africa so he just copies the basic
design and makes it from a post op shoe. He told me that he has now located
some-one importing the item. I will try and locate the source for you
tomorrow.
Best Wishes
