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.

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:I have a large and wide foot. Will this accommodate this?
Asked by: Carol

A: Measures the width of the "toe box" on your shoe, then Google "shoe width toe box sizes" to determine if your shoe will fit between the AFO Cradle tabs. The widest width that the tabs expand to is 4-1/2 inches.

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

A: Medicare and most private health insurance plans pay for some costs associated with many items used for medical care in the home under certain conditions. We do not accept assignment of health insurance plan payments at this time for consumer purchases. If you are considering submitting your purchase for insurance reimbursement, please call your insurance company before making the purchase to determine whether they will reimburse you for your purchase.
