Q: Does the AFO assist support an AFO already inserted into a shoe? We find it easier to leave the AFO in the shoe but then it is hard to get the foot in. We are looking for a solution that would hold the shoe with the AFO.

Asked by: Joy - 8/22/2015
A: Yes, you should be able to already have the AFO inside the shoe then place the foot in. But the Original AFO Assist also includes the shoe funnel to help direct AFO into shoe if the AFO is put on prior to putting the shoe on. The shoe funnel helps keep the shoe open enough to slide the foot in.

Q: Where do you buy a afo brace with a ankle strap?

Asked by: JJ - 1/27/2021
A: If you already have an AFO without an ankle strap, you can easily attach a strap using Velcro (hook and loop straps). An orthotic vendor who custom fabricates AFOs will included an ankle strap. We offer a ready made AFO also: https://www.thewrightstuff.com/push-ortho-ankle-foot-orthosis.html
