AFO shoes for children with CP

Khanhhoa · April 2017

Hi everyone, I have some student who have CP. All of them need AFO shoes but no company in my country product this shoes. Do you know what store or company in Singapo or Japan provide this shoes. If you have, can you give me the contact or the website link.
Thank you so much.

Hi @Khanhhoa they might not need specialist shoes. There are some available, but they are extremely expensive.

Some useful ideas here

My daughter has boots, 2 sizes bigger than her feet in the widest width filling. I make sure I get ones that open fully, and have long Velcro straps to do up over the AFO's. I stretched the shoes as much as I could first (my friend gets her older child to wear them for a few days) and we keep the AFO's in the boots when she is not wearing them.

Some families have found very cheap trainers work better than more expensive ones and they take the insoles out. Or, this website has ideas for modifying shoes http://www.abilityhacker.com/how-to-hack-cute-shoes-for-afos-part-1/

Hi. Thanks for you help. You idea is interesting. But I need AFO's too. In Viet Nam we have just this kind of shoes. It is to big and too heavy to wear.
