Orthopedic Kids AFO Shoes for Boys and Girls - Twiki - Genuine Leather High Back Sandals with Arch Support, Non-Slip Amortizing Sole and Thomas Heel

I had reviewed these last year but wanted to update it. My LO has ankle pronation and flat feet. She has been wearing these shoes since fall 2019. I also added arch support to help turn her ankle more. The other day we had an appointment with an orthopedic doctor because she needs ankle braces. I had the doc check out her shoes and arch support because I wanted you make sure I wasn't making things worse. He was extremely impressed with how well the shoes are made and how sturdy the heel is, also really liked the arch supports. So they are worth every penny.

These shoes are adorable. At first glance out of the box I did feel like they looked like shoes for someone with foot problems, but then once they were on my toddler they just looked cute. The three straps give her extra support and the sandals do not slide around like others can. The soles felt comfortable when I pushed on them, and my kid said she liked them. You do need to completely loosen the top strap to get their feet in the sandals, but my toddler learned to do it quickly, and now she can put these sandals on all by herself and tighten them to her preference. She has been wearing them nonstop for at least a week now, inside and outside, and so far they are holding up to quite a beating!Normally she currently wears a size 6, and I ordered a size 7 thinking if they didn't fit now, they would fit really soon, but they fit right away. Unsure if this is due to Twiki's sizing measurements or if she is just going through a growth spurt; you can see in the pictures that her big toe is almost to the edge already. So I would recommend going one size up just in case!

I bought this shoes for my toe walker toddler. He is a size 8 and I got size 9 per reviews, size 9 fit him perfectly. I’m giving a 1 star on my review because this shoes are very expensive and did not really work for us. It helped my son maybe a 10% or 20% with the toe walking. They are comfortable for him, just didn’t work for what we needed them. Maybe they work for other things.

ORDER A SIZE UP! We listened to the other reviews and ordered a size up and they fit perfectly. We bought them for my daughters toe-walking issue and they have already helped so much! I highly recommend and they’re super cute too.

Great shoe. Our daughter loves it. She typically fights us when we try to put shoes on her but not with these. Very well made and good looking.

I have been looking for these shoes for so long, great for my toe walker kid, improved his walking dramatically ( he does go back to toe walking when takes of shoes ) I would buy 1 or 2 sizes up.

my 3 yo grandson has cp. He walks better in these than his braces
