Kelly and Others,
Be really careful with these puppies as I have been using one for
over twenty years until this past April when it kicked on me and I removed
my big toe and half of the one next to it on my left foot. Not a good
experience - 12 days in hospital, infections, blood clots, etc. I now have
a left foot that I can place a right shoe on! Both my feet "slope" the same
way.
Later,
Bob
