    Hello @Wind.

    I don’t have direct experience of the PEDRO boot/gaiters myself, but make sure there's nothing creased underneath (such as socks, leggings or anything else that may rub). Have you checked her skin to see if it's getting sore? If it's reall uncomfortable I would suggest going back to the orthotics team or whoever provided the splints for advice.

    I'm also going to tag our Cerebral palsy experts @Richard_Scope, @Lucy_Scope and @SaraC_Scope to see if they can offer any further advice or support when they're back in the office next week.
