    Does anyone know of a company to send a cast to for the fabrication of latex toe shields?

    There used to be a company in N.J. but they don't answer their phones.

    Thank you for your help.

    The latex techique is a bit dated now with Silipos "digital caps" a convenient substitute.<http://www.silipos.com>. In their day latex shields were useful but longitudinal torque would inevitably assist in their deterioration (especially when they were lined). Like many other subscribers I used to make them by the hundreds and always enjoyed the smell of amonia form the dipping latex tanks. However I am over that addiction now :)

    Cheers

    There is a product called PediPlast, it is a silicone coumpound. You can form your own toe shield, toe crest, etc. This is done in your office in minutes.
