Guest guest Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 Both of my AFOs have an ankle straps. They didn't have straps to begin with. I had them added when I picked them up from the orthopedist. They do help your ankles from pushing forward. I also got my shoes from the orthopedist. He has a book about 30 different styles to choose from. If anyone wants to contact him, just let me know and I will post his office number. You don't have to be in my city to order or receive the information he said he would be happy to talk with any of us. He would even be willing to talk to us as a group.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Hi! I've been wearing AFOs since 1992. I wear all kinds of shoes, low-to-medium high boots and sneakers. I've never had my heel slip out of any of them -- Oops, not true -- in the low-cut-in-front loafer types my heels slipped out. I just don't wear them.
