    Phil, thanks for playing. So, low resistance = ? high resitance = ?
    How low is a low lateral heel cup?
    How much more flexible is the shell?

    etc etc etc.

    Low resistance = arch raises with minimal 'lift'
    High resistance = arch does not budge
    Don't ask me to describe some where in the middle - a quantitative measurement tool is needed

    Heel cup = 0mm
    The shell is made flexible enough to deform when two finger pressure to the area results in a flexing of the shell by 10mm 'ish!

    As I always say 'If it quacks like a duck etc'. These feel right but are experienced based at best.
