Used Piedro shoes?

My son has one pair of Piedro shoes. He loves them,and they give him much more stability, but they are his only shoes (NHS only gives you one pair). If they get wet, they take ages to dry, so we wanted to get him a back up pair, just in case. He is just about to move into a size 24. I have arranged to give my son's current size 22 shoes to another boy with CP when our new ones arrive, so he can have a back up pair. I keep looking on eBay. Is there anywhere else anyone can suggest where I could buy a pair of used Piedros?

try Facebook based group called Special Needs Exchange. It's a closed group, so you have to join first, but there are Piedro boots quite often.

I have the same frustration! I will look at the group the other person suggested. Also, you can buy them direct from Gibert and Mellish, but they are over a hundred pounds a pair. My son has mild cerebral Palsy.
