![]() That’s the closest I’ve come to a sandal. ![]() Since I don’t have control of my feet (or legs), I do have to have something holding the shoe onto my foot so I was happy to find them since they have the heel strap. I always need to wear socks, but at least they were a little easier to put on and breezier. I bought a pair of cheap, generic Crocs from the craft store over the summer so that I could have a change from wearing my sneakers all the time. Someone needs to make boots or shoes that have a zippered or velcro heel…that would be ideal. Even then I have to use a shoehorn and struggle. With my sneakers I have to loosen the shoestrings quite a bit which lets me fold the tongue out of the way. Given the way my braces are (and the length of my feet) I have a very hard time siding my feet into the shoes. The shoes shown on here have given me some ideas for new search terms so finger crossed. If anybody discovers some then please reply to my post. Also, it’s horrible wearing them in the winter! My feet freeze anyways, but with shoes that are made to keep your feet cool? Forget about it! I need some winter boots or shoes that are easy to get on and aren’t insanely priced…I can’t spend over $100. Unfortunately, my luck hasn’t been great with other shoes so I am kind of stuck wearing sneakers everywhere. They have mesh so it’s easy for my brace to expand them where needed and they are very lightweight. I actually got lucky and found a pair on clearance a couple of years ago. I have found that Asics is a good brand as far as sneakers. Most shoes fit right down on top of your toes, but I have a couple of hammer toes so I need more space. ![]() I’ve had AFOs for both feet for about 10 years now and yes, shoe shopping is the worst! My biggest problems are that I need a women’s 10.5 or 11, wide (or extra wide), and the room for my toes can’t be shallow.
