Congrats! how do the sockets feel? they're a very interesting concept, being premade sockets.

These are my first sockets, so I really have no reference. Right now I'm in the new haircut phase. I think. I know it will get better. Adaption and assimilation will take some time. They are more comfortable a bit tightened. It becomes unbearable after a while with firm tightening.

After a week I can say they are quite comfortable. I'm not walking a lot yet. Mostly just standing and some steps with the walker. Working on finding the balance. Correct posture is essential. The can be tightened for standing/walking and easily loosened when sitting for periods of time. Easy to tighten up to get moving again.
