Hiya, after quite some time spent playing with the tie-rods I have come to the conclusion the main problem is my leg, and not the stilt! The method of Jasons helped get rid of the lack of straightness in the stilt, but after trying the stilts on the wrong feet, I still have the same problem of rubbing and my foot going somewhat sideways.
It may be the trainers I wear as they are well used and the soles have not worn evenly, but I think I will just have to make a conscious effort to change the way I walk when on the stilts, as the wear is in the right direction. Unfortunately these trainers are the only footwear I have which are not boots, and I think my New Rocks are a tad too chunky!
TTFN
Jon.
