Product reviews: Mt. Emey Children's Orthopedic Boots 3305 by Apis

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!

I love them! My son is a toe walker and these shoes have helped him so much with balance and keeping his feet from lifting. They are very sturdy and good quality. I love the fact they come in x-wide width. I will definitely buy again. (Please add more colors)

My seven-year-old son has severe inversion/flat feet, so I took a gamble on these high top orthotic shoes and it’s night and day difference with his gait. He no longer drags his leg behind him when he walks and his limp is so much more subtle now. So happy he’s not complaining about his feet being sore anymore because they’re so supportive. Previously, I would use his orthotic inserts and ankle support in a regular high top shoe, and it wouldn’t make much of a difference. You can certainly tell the quality of the shoe and I will continue to buy this exact shoe in different sizes as his feet grow. Thank you so much!

Excellent shoes. Helpful to my son to avoid tip-toe walking.

My daughter has flat feet and inverted ankles..these are perfect to support her heels. You can put your own insert if the one embeded is to hard.

The boots are VERY well made. The tread is compatible with hiking boots. My son said they make his legs feel "strong". These were perfect and I am getting the tennis shoes of the same brand next.

I purchased these shoes for a patient of mine who was severely pronates. Once the shoes were on, her feet were in a better anatomical position. They hold her in Mid-line well. Her gait has improved tremendously.

This is the closest I’ve gotten to keeping pace.we had to take out insert in order for shoes to be deep enough for AFO to fit.Now if only we could find sandals,Thanku colors r fantastic

I love these shoes, they fit my daughter very well, her ankle is less inflamed, I will ask for another pair of shoes, but it is what I have always looked for, especially since it is for wide feet and it is not easy to find like this.

These are really nice boots. They look like high fashion hiking boots, and my grandson has gotten many compliments on them.
As for how they are in correcting his feet, his feet don't seem to turn in quite as much with them on, but it's hard to tell. What the boots do is lift the arch on the foot that was rolling, so he is actually walking on the sole of his foot. This is a huge plus.

Love the shoes, great fit. Bought for my 3yr old who has one feet turned inwardly. Shoes does great job at keeping her feet straight

Nice but too small for me.

So far they have been easy for my son to put on himself, these are not shoes that where recommended from a doctor or that a doctor asked us to get him we took it upon ourselves because my sons ankles are not straight and he sometimes falls or trips on his own.

I love these shoes to the only ones I found that are wide enough for my boys' feet. They also offer great ankle support, helping my children with their pigeon toed walk.

We have been trying for years to find shoes that would stay on our sons foot. The last set I found were $125 and were open toe sandels not good for winter, these are AMAZING we are so happy with them. They fit perfectly they don't fall off and he loves them!!!!!

We love love the shoes, my son walks better than ever and does not take them off, his feet are son comfortable in this shoes that he does not even think about taking them off. The reason we purchased the shoes was mostly because his feet are extremely wide and he tends to take off any shoes we put on him no matter where we are. His teacher recommended these as she spent most of the day putting his shoes back on. He is a toddler therefore it hard to get laced shoes, therefore high tops where the best option and give the width of his feet it has bee a challenge. We are so thankful to her for the recomendation and to you guys for this wonderful amazing product!

very sturdy and comfortable

These are really nice, sturdy shoes. We got the brown ones. My 4th-grade son is very pleased with his "hiking boots". They keep his ankle stabilized and help it from rolling inward. If they prove to be durable, I'll plan to buy them again when he outgrows this pair. He walks in them to school every day, even in light snow.

I wish they made a winter warm snow/ice boot.

These shoes have been a god send. My son has special needs and struggled to find high tops with such good support. His podiatrist is now recommending them to his other patients.

These are the first and only boots I've found that fit my 7 year old son's extra wide feet with a very high instep. In fact, aside from a pair of NB sneakers I found that also fit his unusually hard-to-fit foot, this is the only other footwear that also fits him. When he tried them on for the first time, he was jumping up and down with joy - that's how difficult it's been to find footwear that fits - until we found these. Time will tell how durable they'll be, though. Either way, if your child has very wide feet and high instep, try these boots. Very satisfied and highly recommend them.
