About:
A Carlton saddle is Myolite padding that runs from tuberosity of the calcaneous to the heads of the metatarsal bones. It extends from the plantar distal end of where the calcaneous sits in the shell, to the proximal metatarsal heads, sulcus, or toes. This pad supports the plantar fascia and the longitudinal arch. Because the distal edge functions as a metatarsal bar and the proximal end functions as a negative heel pad, it also aids in plantar aponeurosis pathology.
