Best Boots for Kids Who Wear AFOs

Is this your child’s first winter with AFOs and you have no clue where to start? In this video I show the best boots for kids who wear AFOs based on my many years of shoe fitting experience. You can access the list of boots I recommend here:

I have spoken with several families who ordered over 10 pairs of boots and had to return them all because none of them fit. Other families either tried to modify the liner or ripped the seams to make the boots open wider, but they were unsuccessful.
The boots that I recommend are ideal for accommodating AFOs as they provide these 4 key features:
1️⃣ Oversized Openings: Boots with wider opening features like double velcro straps or zippers which allows the boot to fold over completely. This makes it easier for parents and children to get the boots on and off.
2️⃣ Adjustability: Boots with adjustable closures like velcro closure with side zippers or laces are a must-have. They allow for a customized fit around the AFOs, ensuring comfort.
3️⃣ Insulation and Waterproofing: Ensure the snow boots are well insulated to keep your child's feet warm, and they should be waterproof to protect both the AFOs and your kids' feet from moisture.
4️⃣ Extra Depth: Snow boots with extra depth provide the necessary space for AFOs without causing discomfort.

I tried the one with the triple velcro straps and it accommodated the AFOs perfectly. I only had to size up one size. Thank you!!

Where can I find a list of the boots that you recommend? Do these boots work for hinged AFOs?
