The right shoe can make all the difference in the success of your orthotic treatment. Ensuring that the shoe fits your foot (or brace) is just the start!

When picking the right shoe, there are a number of things to consider, and these beautiful, stylish shoes from Drew tick all the boxes:
✅️Extra-depth with two removable insoles
✅️Extra-width, with options up to 4E
✅️Rocker bottom
✅️Slip-resistant rubber sole
✅️Easy on design for limited mobility

We are excited to be able to offer a variety of orthopedic footwear to complement our orthotic treatment!

What is going on with these braces? No, your screen isn't tilted!
All of these AFOs incorporate 'dorsiflexion assist' ankle joints. They help patients who have drop foot or ankle weakness to lift up their foot and reduce dragging, tripping, and other gait compensations.

So pretty in pink! 🩷 These custom ESR AFOs store energy in one phase of gait and give it back in another, helping to spring them along. These shoes have a side zipper access and the amazing colour match compliments the braces so well! What a fun day at the clinic!

We've had a couple awesome kids through the clinic in the last week! The first little tyke started using a custom foot orthotic to match his brace on the other side. The second chose a serene purple butterfly transfer to gently float towards the spring weather 🦋🦋. As parents ourselves, nothing makes us smile more than helping kids live their best lives. 😊
