Men's Shoes That Accommodate AFO Braces

What Men’s Shoes Features Are Best For AFO Braces?

Our men’s shoes below are designed specifically to accommodate AFO braces. Whether you’re seeking boots, sneakers, or casual shoes, our AFO-friendly shoes have specific features to fit inside the shoe.

Since AFO braces can vary in size and girth, the depth and width of the shoe is important for accommodating the brace. The shoe features below can be beneficial for accommodating the brace and supporting your feet.

Double Depth: Sufficient interior depth to accommodate the bulk of the AFO brace is important. Shoes with deeper depth and multiple removable insoles (2 or more) provide space for the brace while maintaining comfort and preventing pressure points.
Adjustable Closure: A customizable closure system, such as laces or hook-and-loop straps, ensure a secure fit over the AFO brace and adapt to any changes in foot or brace size.
Wider Width Options: Availability of wider width options to accommodate the increased width of the foot with the AFO brace. A width wider than a standard width is common to fit the brace in the shoe. Choose a shoe that is available in wider widths.
Multiple Removable Insoles: If only one foot requires and AFO brace, shoes with removable insoles allows adjustability to accommodate the fit for both feet. It is common to remove all insoles for the foot with the brace and to leave the insoles in the shoe for the other foot.
Durable and Supportive Design: A well-constructed shoe with sturdy uppers and supportive features to maintain stability and prevent undue wear and tear from the AFO brace's presence.
