Steppin' Out With Billy Shoes! | What Are Billy Shoes | Orthopro Twin Falls

Описание: Michael with OrthoPro explains what type of footwear is best for kids needing to fit their braces, or AFOs, inside their shoes.

To fit a foot brace inside a shoe, the shoe needs a few key characteristics: it needs to be an adequate length, it needs to bend in the correct spot to accomodate the mechanics of the brace, and it needs to be roomy enough inside so the foot won't get cramped within the brace. There are many options. But one type of shoe that meets all the requirements is the Billy shoe. Along with being the right length and internal size, the Billy shoe unzips and opens up; so getting the shoe onto the brace is much easier. than it would be with standard footwear. It also comes in a variety of styles and colors, giving kids more freedom with their fashion.

Whether it's Billy shoes or another type of footwear, OrthoPro can help with finding the right footwear for your child's brace as well as outfitting them with the brace itself.

When you have a child that is wearing AFOs or braces, for example, the need for footwear is obvious. We've got to put this into this. So what kinds of shoes work better?

This particular shoe is a Billy shoe. And one of the advantages it has is it has a zipper that allows it to open up. So in this manner we simply unzip the shoe. The brace will it right in there and then we zip the shoe up. It makes it very easy for Mom or Dad to put the brace on the child, then you put the foot inside the shoe, zip it up, and off you go! There's a lot of different choices for designs and colors. So the kids enjoy wearing these types of shoes with the designs they've picked for their AFOs.

Besides the Billy shoe there are other options. And what we're looking for is a shoe that has the proper length, and it bends in the right spot, and has enough room inside so that the foot
doesn't get cramped while wearing the brace. If you can find that, that particular type of shoe or that style, that works as well. You're not, you're not limited to any particular type of shoe.
We've just found that the Billy shoes offer a lot of selection and the size that we need in order to fit these kiddos with their braces.

If you or your child are in need of footwear for bracing, or bracing itself, visit our website. Or better yet, give us a call! We'd love to help you.
