SHOES FOR AFO'S
What is an AFO? Its true name is Ankle/Foot/
Orthosis
It is generally used when a person has lost the ability to hold the foot up when stepping out and forward in a
natural walking motion, ( loss of dorsi flection). This may occur due to surgery, stroke, or an accident.
The brace is generally custom made to serve as a support for and under the foot, molded around the ankle and up
behind the calf of the leg. Velcro straps, over the instep, and also closing around the brace at the calf.
The brace does create fitting problems for many people. The brace generally does well by being fitted with P.W.
Minor Extra Depth or Super Depth Shoes. The brace generally will take up an additional full size to a full size
and one half in length, and two extra widths in width. Often necessitating purchasing two pairs of shoes.
I have fit and helped many people with this type of brace problem, leading to a more normal walking and comfortable
shoe fitting.
