          Registration Statement on Form S-8
          ----------------------------------

Gentlemen:

     We have acted as special counsel to Langer, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement
on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") pertaining to the registration by the
Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an aggregate of
1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock ("Common Stock"), $0.02 par value
per share (the "Shares"), issued or to be issued pursuant to the Company's 2001
Stock Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan").

     We have made such legal and factual examinations and inquiries, including
an examination of originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction of such documents, corporate records and instruments, as we have
deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion. In our
examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity
of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to authentic
original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies.

     We have relied, without independent investigation, upon a certificate from
the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President that the number of shares
which the Company is authorized to issue in its Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, exceeds the sum of (i) the number of shares of the Company's Common
Stock outstanding, (ii) the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock held
as treasury shares, and (iii) the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock
which the Company is obligated to issue (or has otherwise reserved for issuance
for any purposes), by at least the number of shares which may be issued in
connection with the Incentive Plan, and we have assumed for purposes of our
opinion herein that such condition will remain true at all future times. We have
also assumed that the Company will cause certificates representing Shares issued
in the future to be properly executed and delivered and will take all other
actions appropriate for the due and proper issuance of such Shares. We have
assumed for purposes of this opinion that options issued under the Incentive
Plan and the Shares issuable upon exercise of such options have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and such
options have been duly authorized and granted under the Incentive Plan. We
express no opinion regarding any shares reacquired by the Company after initial
issuance.

     We are members of the Bar of the State of New York and are not admitted to
practice law in any other jurisdiction. We do not hold ourselves out as being
conversant with, and express no opinion as to, the laws of any jurisdiction
other than the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, and laws of the United States of America.



     Subject to the limitations stated in this letter, and subject further to
the following limitations, it is our opinion that the Shares issued or issuable
by the Company, under and in accordance with all of the provisions of the
Incentive Plan, will, upon delivery thereof and receipt by the Company of all
and adequate consideration owed to the Company therefor, be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.

     The foregoing assumes that the aforesaid Registration Statement will become
and remain effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, prior to any
offering of the Shares pursuant to the terms thereof and will be amended, as
appropriate, and that there will be compliance with all applicable state
securities laws in connection with the offering of such securities, as well as
compliance with the terms of the offering set forth in the Registration
Statement.

     This opinion is rendered solely for your benefit and may not be relied upon
by any other person or entity. This opinion is provided to you as of the date
hereof. We undertake no, and hereby disclaim any obligation to advise you of any
change in any matter set forth herein. Without our prior written consent, this
opinion may not be quoted in whole or in part or otherwise referred to in any
report or document furnished to any person or entity.

     We consent to the filing of this letter as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within
the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.


                                                  Very truly yours,


                                                  KANE KESSLER, P.C.
