About this trial

To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of siliconepads and if they could be an alternative to felted foam used in offloading high risk pressure areas in the plantar forefoot region using plantar pressure measurements.

Also user experience will be evaluated which is an important criterion in the use of this new type of offloading. Comfort, convenience and functionality of both felted foam and siliconepads will be tested to evaluate if siliconepads are more appropriate then felted foam.
