    I was introduced to them by our very own Mr Craig Payne at a BMX Bootcamp. I have since used them twice and my patients loved them. I did one in just poron, and the other I needed some more depth, so I did 2-3mm of a firmer material and topped with 3mm of poron. Worked a treat. Far less bulky than alternative devices. Double thumbs up from me! Thanks Craig

    Like Sally, I became more aware of them at Craig's bootcamp.

    They seem to work very well and patients don't seem to mind having that extra piece of material under the hallux.

    I tend to use a small piece of EVA wedge strip rather than buying the expensive preformed ones that are available .

    Hope this helps,

    Neil.

    Is there a difference between a Kinetic Wedge and a Cluffy Wedge.
    thanks

    So the kinetic wedge drops the met head and Dori-flexes the proximal phalanx. The Cluffy wedge tapers from proximal to distal and pre loads the hallux.
    Are they both effective.
    Thanks for your response.
    I am so happy to find the site. I do to have local podiatrists who are interested in biomechanics
