Currently because his right foot is being difficult these days, that AFO is 1 piece w/o the insert. His heel is popping out. He sweats a ton, and while people have recommended soccer socks (for their length and durability) we have been using socks from Keeping Pace for the last 4 years. He has been wearing Adidas tennis shoes - with insoles stripped out. We've also switched to bungee cord shoe laces, which is really cool because he can now undo his shoes and get at least one off unassisted.

I waited for ages to try it because I was afraid they'd say no and then I would cry in a store in front of the sales clerk. <br /><br />We've been requested to only spend half the day in the brace so for the other half I got some cheap sparkly shoes. Girls love sparkles!<br /><br />Oia looks triumphant!GingerBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976594257345428901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641518796258733974.post-19498055771369507642010-10-21T18:05:42.166-07:002010-10-21T18:05:42.166-07:00YEAH!

It really gave me a lift when I went out to the mailbox! Thank you so much, my friend. Faith loved it too! Give Oia a big hug for us! BTW have you ever watched the show Medium on CBS? Oia reminds me so much of the youngest daughter Marie on that show!Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201448627487443779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641518796258733974.post-11666273031680726582010-10-21T07:53:44.963-07:002010-10-21T07:53:44.963-07:00You're so right, every girl needs variety!

I bought 8 pair from Stride rite, hoping to have at least one work out, then return the rest. *sigh*<br />We have that same model DAFO, I think. Cotton socks, all the way...all the time. <br /><br />And how AWESOME that Oia wore THROUGH her shoes! YESSSSSSS!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00105042832608271631noreply@blogger.com
