Heel hieght does affect alignment." "...my prosthetist simply adjusted the foot alignment to compensate for higher heel height..." Sounds to me that heel height does indeed affect one's gate. As you stated, the C-Leg is "aligned", to the user's liking, for use with a specific heel height. If one uses a different heel height the leg must be re-adjusted for that height. Which is what I said in the first place. Although you need not go through the entire "re-calibration" process, the foot will still need to be adjusted for the new/different height heel.
