Caution
Indications
Your physician has prescribed you a very unusual looking shoe. Walking
with this boot is more difficult than walking with conventional footwear;
please read the following precautions. Do not attempt to drive while
wearing this boot. Use extreme caution when climbing stairs, stepping
up onto curbs and walking on uneven surfaces. Walk more slowly than
usual. You are not wearing a normal street shoe and more clearance is re-
quired for the wedge sole. Excessive weight bearing (edematous pa tients)
may cause a breakdown of the shoe’s functional sole. In case the sole
must be fixed due to extensive wearing, please contact your physician or
orthopedic technician. Recommen dation to wear with bandages or socks.
If the product is improperly handled its function and optimal safety can
no longer be guaranteed. TwinShoe
