I am a LAK. College Park kindly loaned me a Trustep for two weeks. I took it home and had to change the bumpers a few time to get them best set up for me. I had to remove and reinsert the foot into the shell 6 times. It was very, very, hard to do. There is no reason to make it so difficult. It could be designed much better. The back of the shell cracked after the third time. This made it easier, but it was still much harder than it should be. If I was going to buy a Trustep, I would cut about an inch, off the top of the shell.
I ended up buying a College Park K2 on Ebay. I find the K2 much better than the TruStep. The K2 on swing forward leaves the foot in Dorsiflexion so there is maximum ground clearance. The Truestep moves the foot out of Dorsiflexion on swing forward, pointing the toe down, and I kept catching the toe on the ground. Why would College Park design one foot to remain in Dorsiflexion, and another foot to NOT remain in Dorsiflexion? Again, I think the Trustep could have been designed much better.

How much price

[@Tricknologyinc]

Foot Horn or the Foot? They get almost $50 for the foot horns and around $2500 for the foot.

Não gostei desse pé, difícil retira essa capa e pior ainda colocar, isso desanima em querer comprar novamente um produto da empresa, fora essas borrachas que se tem nele que estragam com facilidade. Não recomendo.
