It’s more comfortable than cheaper prosthetics but costs less than prosthetics built for running and other competitive sports. The design team says the Goldilocks foot is especially useful for walks and light exercise.  \n\nCSU senior, Garrison Hays, worked with a team of engineering undergrads to create the design. And he drew on his personal experience: His leg was partially amputated to remove cancer when he was a kid.  He spoke with Brad Turner about how he realized he wanted  to make a prosthetic that was affordable, but also durable and comfortable.\nSign up for the In The NoCo newsletter: Visit KUNC.org\nQuestions?
