Oh interesting. When I asked last year they said they confirmed with head office in Italy who said they would modify the posts thinner if I wanted. I would just need to have to wait for it. The SA said the same thing when I tried them on this year as she remembered my query from last year, but they were comfortable for me so I told her if I go ahead I wouldn't need the modification. Understand why you passed, it is very uncomfortable if they are large, and you'd get very sore. I can only assume we are in different countries.
