Best Shoes for Kids with AFOs - Stop Buying Bigger Shoes to Fit the AFOs

- Providing your child with the correct types of shoes is critical for the proper functioning of your child's Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO). Shoes that don't provide the correct amount of support or that are the wrong size can make your child AFO virtually worthless.
One of the most common mistakes that I see parents make is to provide their children with shoes that are too big for the AFOs. Shoes that are too big cannot support your child’s gait or weight transition and will compromise your child’s stability.
If you want to see a list of the best shoes for kids with AFOs I suggest that you take a look at the article below:
fittingchildrenshoes.com/best...
The shoes that I recommend on that article provide the following features:
✅ Extra Depth
✅ Round Toe-Boxes
✅ Available in Wide (W) and Extra Wide (XW) Widths
✅ Wider Opening for Easy On & Off
✅ Substantial Outsoles
✅ Firm Heel Counters
✅ Removable Insoles
Thank you for sharing! God Bless you! We are picking up our son's first pair of AFOs this week, and I am excited to see him get the support he needs, but I don't wanna do anything to undermine that support by using the wrong shoes for him! I appreciate videos like this to guide us parents as we jump into these new experiences with our kids.
Hello Laci! I am sure your son will do great in his first pair of AFOs. I will be here in case you have any questions about the shoes he should wear.
Thank you for all the great options and for your wonderful website! It is my place to go before buying shoes for my little one.
Hello Maria. I am glad you find the website informative!
Hi. I bought the Stride Rite shoes that you showed on the video and they worked perfectly for my son's feet. I ordered the extra wide and I didn't have to get the shoes too big. I just wanted to say thank you.
I am happy to hear that!
This video is so helpful, thank you. My 2.5 year old son just got AFO’s a a SMO’s a week ago. It would be nice if down in your description you actually listed the model numbers and brands of the shoes you most recommend. I have to keep rewinding and pausing lol. Either way you are awesome and thank you!!
Hello Maryann. Thank you for your feedback! In the description of the video there is a link that takes you to an article where you will find the list of model numbers that I recommend.
This video was really helpful. Thanks!
I am glad you find the video informative!
Hi, thank you for the video. What shoes do you recommend for hinged AFO's that have the bump in the back?
Hello Angie. It would be ideal if I get to take a look at the AFO and know your child's foot measurements to guide you in what size you should order. There is a free resource I created for this: fittingchildrenshoes.com/how-to-get-the-correct-shoe-size-for-your-childs-afos-follow-these-2-simple-steps
Will be good your help to find the size with the bracelet on.

Cual es tu b opinion de los zapatos Billy pata usar con AFOS
Algunas families han tenido buena suerte con los zapatos de la marca Billy, y otras no tanto. Son una buena alternativa pero hay otras opciones que son mejores. Acá le dejo un articulo que describe los mejores zapatos para niños que usan AFOs: fittingchildrenshoes.com/best-shoes-for-kids-with-afos-stop-buying-bigger-shoes-to-accommodate-the-afos
I have tried New Balance shoes for my daughter but did not work for her AFOs. She has to wear AFOs and has extra wide feet, which I think it's making it even harder to find shoes that fit. Any recommendations?
Hello Melisa. Not all New Balance shoe styles work well with AFOs, there are only 2 or 3 styles that are capable of accommodating AFOs. I suggest that you take a look at this resource I created: fittingchildrenshoes.com/best-new-balance-shoes-for-kids-who-wear-afos
