You asked for a tough AFO shoe. We listened. If your child wears AFOs, you know how hard they are on shoes. We kept hearing the same thing from parents and orthotists: getting a brace into a shoe is one challenge, but finding a pair that goes the distance is another. A rigid brace asks more of a shoe than a foot ever does, and kids don't go easy on them either. Families told us they wanted an option built with durability in mind from the start. So that's what we set out to design. Astra is Australian designed, and built for AFOs and the kids who wear them. Built to last: 🔹Premium YKK zips. Chosen to handle being opened and closed over a brace every single day. 🔹 Durable rubber outsoles. Hard-wearing grip for the playground, the footpath and everything in between. 🔹Comfortable, lightweight EVA insoles. Cushioning that stays comfortable all day without adding weight to little legs already carrying a brace. Built to fit: 🔹Double zip opening. The shoe opens right up, so the foot and brace slide in without forcing, bending or a morning battle at the front door. 🔹3 removable inner soles. Take out one, two or all three to get the depth you need. More room for the brace, without going up sizes and ending up with a shoe that's too long. It also means you can adjust the fit as your child grows or their orthotics change. 🔹Medium and wide fittings. Because AFOs come in different shapes, and so do feet. The goal was simple: a shoe that goes on easily, fits the brace properly, and is made to keep up with your child. That's why we created Astra. 👉 Tap "Shop Now" and make mornings easier.
