These AFO alternative sandals are specifically designed with extra height for children who require support of the lower leg, ankle and foot.
In the same fashion that an ankle foot orthosis (AFO), which is typically made of thermoplastics, controls or assists motion of the lower leg, ankle and foot, this specialist range of footwear, controls and stabilizes motion of the lower leg, ankle and foot, but is constructed from natural breathable materials. This provides an additional level of comfort for children who may have difficulty tolerating a typical thermoplastic AFO because of temperature or skin issues. The sandals are stylish, modern and practical and help children with special needs to feel included.
The sandals are designed for both active children who may use a mobility device and less active children who may require positioning and support of the lower leg and feet whilst using a wheelchair. They equipped with 4 easy velcro straps to assist ease of donning and doffing, and can be even worn without socks due to the quality leather lining.
The inner soles is flat, come with removable orthotics to allow fitting of customised foot orthotics.
