This hot summer long I have been wearing Ecco's white lace-up boots over my AFOs, with baggy linen trousers or jeans. My left AFO is quite uncomfortable, especially in the heat. I have an appointment at St Mary's Roehampton on 29 August so am managing with a rubber-like material called poron which I can cut to size, and chiropody felt etc till then. The heat and the discomfort do act as disincentives to do very much that involves walking. I am one of those strange people who prefers cool weather, even rain!!!

Am anxiously awaiting my first pair of Piedros. Yes, I find the Ecco lace-up ankle boots are comfortable for me. For smarter occasions I tend to wear black trousers and black ankle boots, although a new pair of white Eccos can look quite smart for a while, in the summer. Every day is a bit of a challenge in this heat.

Piedros are really good, I’ve worn them for nearly 30 years! Are you getting them through orthotics?0
