I was scheduled to test-walk the new Proprio robotic foot next week, but found out today that my foot size is too small. The minimum size is about equivalent to a women's 8-1/2 shoe. Needless to say, I'm disappointed. It sounded like a great solution.
Four-track Skiers?

[General]
I learned to ski about 20 years ago wearing my prosthesis using two skis and regular poles. Over the past several years, I've had a couple of bad falls (not while skiing) and I've developed a slight tear in the meniscus of my residual limb (nothing that requires surgery). That knee cap was always prone to slipping out of place even before the tear (part of my congenital defect). Now I'm a little nervous about getting back on the slopes.
I was considering outriggers and thought that they might help take some of the load off my knee when turning. Are there any four-trackers out there who might provide opinions and advice? Thanks.
