Guest guest Posted June 20, 2002 Report Share Posted June 20, 2002 I got my first pair of AFO's yesterday, and of course went shoe shopping after my appointment. I normally wear a women's size 6, narrow width. The " professional shoe fitters " as they called themselves, put me in a New Balance size 7 1/2 , D width. I didn't think the shoes felt right, but the " professionals " said I absolutely needed the larger size and D width to accomodate the braces. They wouldn't even let me try on a B width, telling me there's no way they would work. I wore my braces for several hours today, and my feet feel absolutely horrible tonight - like they're bruised or something. I personally feel the shoes are too big for me, not allowing the braces to support my foot and ankle correctly. Am I jumping to conclusions or should the AFO's hurt that much? I think the AFO's themselves fit me perfectly. Any suggestions or feedback would be appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
