- Description: Closed-foam single layer material. (70 durometer)
- Advantages: Long-lasting, resistant to tearing, very rigid so it slides into shoes very easily, works well as a heel lift, aperture or when a rigid forefoot extension is necessary
- Disadvantages: Very little cushion, some patients find it hot with increased friction compared to other materials. Overall, it is an excellent material for creating accommodations, but is not a particularly comfortable topcover.
