I wonder if anyone has any experience with this shoe for knee OA:

A patient with PTTD came in wearing these nifty devices and swears that they are "the only thing that has helped her so far". Of course she will not wear a brace and her ortho referred her in with a script for orthoses.

They are interesting to say the least but the on inspection of the shoes the only thing that I could glean from them having no practical experience with them is that they have a rather rigid shank and sole, wedging (determined by some unknown sort of pressure may system) and the heel is slightly elevated. I can see how these alone would help a PTTD patient.

I wonder does anyone here speak Hebrew? Their website is only in Hebrew unfortunately
