Guest guest Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 has MAFO's as well - I usually have good luck at Payless but I hadn't even thought to try an adidas indoor soccer shoe. Thanks for the tip, shoes and MAFO's can be such fun - yesterday and today we had doctor appts which means, take all the footwear off to get on the scale then put it back on to go see the Doctor! We've gotten pretty fast at it now but it all depends on the shoes!!! thanks for the idea, Jayne sara cohen wrote: And he got new kind of shoes - soccer flats (for indoor soccer). They fit very nicely over the MAFOS without me having a stroke getting them on.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Tori wore MAFOs when she was little but hated them. We would put them on, and she refused to stand. Seeing we were trying to get her to walk, we put them aside. What we did instead, was always had her wear high-top sneakers/boots to support the ankles.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Nope - bought these at Target - under $18.00!!! My older son plays and coaches soccer - year round. He turned me on to the Target =- he gets them for his indoor soccer kids.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Sara, Thanks for the soccer shoe idea!! has worn DAFO's (which must be similar or the same thing) for a year now. We are actually getting ready to get measured for a new pair. Jayne, I've had luck at Payless too. I end up buying wide width and getting up to two sizes bigger to fit over the brace. 's PT told me about a websight that makes shoes to fit over braces. They are called Hatch backs. The heal hinges down so you can slide the foot right in. Then it velcros closed. You actually buy the correct shoe size. I'll look for the web sight. They are pricey so I thought I would wait till gets his new braces. I'm still thinking about it. His PT said another one of her parents bought them and really likes them. Mom to 2 1/2 sara cohen wrote: Nope - bought these at Target - under $18.00!!!

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Everytime I have to buy something " special " , I know that I will pay through the nose. Therefore, I try to find things that work that are NOT special. Also doesn't LOOK special!! I have heard about special socks for braces!!! I use tube socks for long braces. For Elie, I buy women's Haynes creew sox. His shoes look like every other boy's and they are easy for me to put on. They even stay tied all day. I bought these same style shoes for one of our foster kids who wore full length braces. Not to beat a subject, but soccer flats open very wide so that braces slip right in. Of course you have to take the time to pull the laces tight and then tie them, but in the realm of things, this is easy.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Hi , DAFO's I think come up higher than MAFO's which go just above the ankle bone. I'd love to see the website for those cool high tech splint shoes - thank heaven for Payless Wide shoes! take care, jayne Knoll wrote: Sara, Thanks for the soccer shoe idea!! has worn DAFO's (which must be similar or the same thing) for a year now.
