AFO Friendly Shoes

Parents searching for AFO friendly shoes that a child can manage independently can check out the store Little Footprints in Calgary.  This store now carries the Billy Footwear (only Canadian supplier as far as I know) that has an easy to manage zipper around the forefoot and toe allowing the front of the shoe to flip back for ease of sliding the foot inside.  The shoes are very attractive and colourful – both high and low top styles available.
