Hi @adamlathamsmith

Glade to hear that you are now getting some support with orthotic footwear.

Polypropylene is a plastic that has lots of applications in many different areas, see: https://www.creativemechanisms.com/blog/all-about-polypropylene-pp-plastic

It’s been used in the manufacture of orthotics for a long time. Orthotics technicians have many different types and grades of plastics available to them and are trained to select the correct one for the degree of flexibility and ease of moulding for the job they are tackling, see http://www.oandplibrary.org/op/1984_04_041.asp

Hope this helps
