Keeping Pace Shoes

Keeping Pace Shoes — Adaptive & AFO-Friendly Footwear

Innovative orthopedic footwear designed to accommodate AFOs and custom orthoses. Unisex sizes from toddler through youth and young adult, engineered for comfort, stability, and long-lasting wear.

  • Wider, deeper heel box: conceals additional depth and delivers a precision fit with orthoses and AFOs.
  • Adjustable depth insoles: three removable thicknesses allow easy internal adjustments for leg-length differences and AFO accommodation.
  • High-abrasion rubber toe cap & reinforced triple stitching: durable protection built to withstand active use and varied gait patterns.
  • Wider, deeper toe box & distinctive sole: wider tread increases surface contact and improves medial/lateral stability with extra abrasion-resistant rubber.
  • Ankle-to-toe lacing: wide opening facilitates simpler foot insertion.
  • Speed lacing with locking eyelets: one-handed tightening that stays locked for easier tying.
  • Geometrically graded last: ensures consistent, accurate sizing for a reliable fit.
  • Unique midsole: compression-molded EVA shell with a visible cut line to simplify modification and build-up.
  • Fray-resistant lining: longer-lasting interior designed to endure AFO use.

If you have a child who needs to wear an ankle foot orthosis, you know how important it is to find a pair of shoes that will accommodate the brace without further limiting your daughter’s or son’s movement. Without resorting to costly custom insoles, this means finding a pair of kids orthotic shoes that offer the support they need in a style that matches their school clothing or uniform. Offered for both youths and toddlers, Keeping Pace shoes are specifically designed to accommodate AFO braces, and include an adjustable inner sole to help your children compensate for the additional length the orthosis adds. A Specially reinforced material helps to prevent the AFO Brace from fraying the lining, meaning you’ll just have to worry about your kids outgrowing their orthotic shoes, not about the products falling off their feet. Don’t struggle in a store trying to find pair of normal shoes that will accommodate your child’s brace; buy them a pair of Keeping Pace AFO shoes instead!
