What is the difference between this item (open toe wf) and the walking foot? Thanks

The only difference I have found is that this foot seems to slide across the fabric better. I have quilted some VERY thick quilts with this foot and was extremely happy with the results. Hope that helps.

Great question -- it's actually pretty thin, and pretty short. It only comes to the ball of my foot, and it's really not a substitute for a "real" orthotic.

It's a pair of cleats. The two individual cleats are also different, as the q factor will change depending on which cleat you put on which foot.

I don't know, I have only had custom orthotics that were really expensive, and then I tried the Powerstep Pinacle inserts and have been very happy with them. This way I could buy multiple pairs and put them in the shoes that I wear frequently without having to keep changing them from shoe to shoe. I find them just as good as the custom ones.

I purchased mine from Sears for about $8.00 on a clearance event. You can either buy one individually or you can purchase a kit with different feet that would include the walking foot. A 15 piece set will run you about $25.00 on ebay. An individual walking foot on ebay is listed there at the moment for $13.25.

Toe loops are far from bulky. The tape is thin but very durable and has been treated making it feel soft against both toes. Tho it fastens with a velcro-like tip, the tip usually is placed between the taped toe and the untaped one and is not felt. At least I don't feel it when wearing closed or open-toe shoes. That should give you some idea of the lack of bulk in this device.

The "toe" goes forward. I had to look at a picture on the Leki website to make sure.

I had foot surgery and had a walking surgical shoe. I ordered a short and it was fine but I had to return it as the surgical shoe was such that I could not easily get the bag onto my leg. My foot was not totally enclosed in the surgical shoe and I was afraid of bending or hitting my foot. The opening is very small and I would say unless you have a cast or a real boot, I would not go this route. You need to find out exactly what you will have.

There are two kinds, as far as I know. 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch. I have used the 1/8 inch and the work great. I also bought the 1/4 inch. When I have a lot of standing or walking to do, I may try the 1/4 on the foot that has the problem to see if that works even better. Hope this helps. Oh...also suggest you buy two pair of the 1/8 because washing them every couple/few days works best. You can use one pair while the other dries. Hope this helps.

I believe, yes, that's what they're called. There's no big honkin' seam at the end with a bit of thread sticking out, if that's what you mean. The two seams across the top of the toes and at the toe end are nearly invisible and I have never ever felt them while walking or running or anything.

When I did a Google search of your machine it states it is a low shank. This walking foot is for a low shank.

They are about the same. Be sure to remove the original insole. The first pair I used, I put them on top of the original insole. This made the shoe too tight. After removing the original insole these worked great. I put them in all my shoes.

Sizes on the back. The measurement for open toe or closed toe are the same.

The difference between B(M) and C/D has to do with how wide the shoe is. I wear a 7 1/2 wide.(D) If they shoe I want doesn't make it in (D) and I can only get it in the regular sizes. I need to go up a full size in the shoe. I however, do not untie my shoes at all. To me. Every shoe is a kick-off shoe. Also, keep in mind that every ones comfort level with a shoe is different. I do hope this helps.

I bought 2 pairs. One I use with my Merrell slide, the other on my merrell walking shoes/tennis shoes. I really like it. I also remove and transfer it to whatever shoes I want to wear.

The price is for one sock, given that people usually suffer from PF in one foot in particular. It seems like an outrageous price, but this sock made a huge difference in my recovery. In fact, it allowed me to continue running while recovering. Well worth the price.

There is a noticeable height difference. I wore it for a torn calf muscle. It served its purpose but it is uneven when wearing regular tennis shoes on your good foot.
