Re: P3 Functional Adult Prefabricated Orthotics

Does P3 sport always contain a rear foot post? If yes then why?

Re: P3 Functional Adult Prefabricated Orthotics

The P3 Sport does always have a rearfoot post. Because it is meant for the more active individual, the RF post will offer more control of pronation forces and stability for the rearfoot.
