The slippery outer cover allows the foot to move around slightly and the product stays on the foot.
Another feature is some extra foam under the Hook & Loop Tape strap to try to stop the strap from touching the top of the foot. On many feet, the foam can overlap before doing up the Hook & Loop Tape, or if the patient has swollen feet and the Hook & Loop Tape is near the top of the foot, some disposable wadding can be placed under the Hook & Loop Tape.
