Re: Flexible Base Shoe
Try soaking it yourself and bending it. Usually this is done with a steamer and then slowly bending the radius as you tack it in place. But you might be able to soak it in your tub overnight and then tacking it in place.

Re: Flexible Base Shoe
Search under commercial for hospitals, vets and such, they use this for sanitary reasons.
If you want to go steam bent, let me know. It's pretty expensive though.

Re: Flexible Base Shoe
We use Stock Building Supply in South FL. They carry it. Do some research. Steaming is a pain.
