Snapstop Adult Dorsiflexion 2 Bumper (and Molding Blank)

Product Description

Snapstop is an adjustable plantar-flexion stop that lets you make on the spot changes — no more glues, screws or tools needed, you simply snap in the stop that delivers the exact sagittal alignment you want from either top or bottom.
