i may not be an amputee but i do know how its like to use prosthetic legs like his. just walk on your toes. i think thats the best way to get a feel of it.
@AxleGear89 No, they don't hurt (or at least they shouldn't) if the sockets fit properly. I run marathons and mountain climb, hike, etc... after a day of hard activity, the ends of my stumps will hurt and be bruised. I just dunk them in ice water. Eventually he'll have better sockets, the clear ones are just temporary; mine are carbon fiber and have silicone pads placed on the inside in key spots for added comfort.
Amazing!! Yorke, your a trooper man... glad to see you happy and enjoying your new legs. You inspire many people including myself to stay strong no matter what may hit us.

sorry for the stupid question, but does the bottom of the legs hurt inside the prosthesis?
btw, it's great to see you can walk anyway!

Good Luck and God Bless, Yorke. I'd bet good money that you are already up and running on those legs and not letting anything stop you!
