I have had foot drop for 15 years. The only shoes I can wear over my AFO are regular tennis shoes. Do you have any suggestions? I am getting tired of wearing nike's all of the time. Thank you!

foot drop

Hi, I ended up with foot drop following a herniated disc at L4/L5 - was intially given the plastic AFO which was awful and could only get it on with training shoes. I have purchased the SAFO which is an ankle orthotic made from silicone, I can get it on with regular shoes, its comfy and discreet. Take a look for yourself its made by Dorset Orthopedic - they have their own website
