My daughter and I love these shoes. Initially I was trying to find another good pair of shoes similar to her Hatchbacks so that she could wear her AFOs with them. However, the AFOs have caused a lot of calluses and blisters to my daughter’s feet recently. Therefore, I began looking for a supportive shoe that would help her balance and so that her foot would not turn in so badly. I happened upon these shoes and decided to give them a try. They are exactly what my daughter needs at this time. I don’t recommend this particular shoe for those trying to fit AFO/SMOs in a shoe as the top and back would be very difficult to get a brace in or out. But if you’re like us and wanting to get away from the braces for awhile, this shoe has proven to be very effective for my daughter. It is very supportive and helps her foot to not turn inside when walking.

We got the pink ones and my daughter loves them. They keep her ankle from rolling And also support her arches well. We are very happy with these and we will buy them again.

I returned my orders including shoes and insohls to be exchanged with smaller sizes

I had hoped that this shoe would work out for me because I have ankles that need strong support. But the insoles were way too hard and did not properly support my arch. I substituted my own orthotics but they did not fit properly inside the shoe. I would recommend that you design a softer, supportive insole that will come with the shoe.

I love these shoes! I got them for myself as I am one of the hard to fit Adults. I size is perfect and I was so pleased with the style and comfort!
