The sleeve is very thin at a thickness of about one-thirty-seconds of an inch. The sleeve is made of a stretchable resilient material such as Spandex. The plantar cushion may be removable or permanently attached to the brace and can further be personalized in its makeup to form a therapeutic orthotic.
