Once the impression wholesale slippers have hardened
, it can be removed from the patient's foot by releasing the arch strap by pulling upwardly. Hooks in strap 39 at ends 41 and 43 will be cast into the slipper fabric, but the hooks will break offrelatively easily to allow the arch strap 39 to be pulled off to release end 43 of the strap. The technician can then simply pull gently down in the area of the heel, while the patient wiggles his or her toes. The relatively low-cut position of openend 33 on the dorsum will facilitate removal of hardened slipper 23 without the need for cutting of the impression slipper.
