Reviewer 2 Report

This is an interesting pilot study investigating 3D printed insoles for TD2 patients.

Some issues should be addressed:

- intdoduction is rather long, but unfocused - I suggest focusing on the main goal and hypotheses in the end of the section

- in Methods, more inforlation regarding patient enrolement is needed - how were they approached, were they compesated in any way, how many declined invitation? Also, how was sample size estimated?

- more emphasis on patient characteristics in the results (table) and discussion section is needed (how it influenced results possibly)

- results are written in a very long manner, with lack of full sentances - I reccomend more focus, shortening the section

- Discussion repeats some unneccesary information (e.g. lines 433-447)

- Key findings should be written in normal sentances, summarizing main results

- what were limitations of this study? add them into discussion

- more emphasis on future clinical implications this study is bringing should be added to discussion
