Hi @mbgawenus, welcome to the community!
I've moved your post to our equipment group, so hopefully more people can see it. A few people have discussed AFOs before - tagging in @DANO @jr0819 Stayce - who might be able to help.
Thanks,

Do you have your afo supplied by your local orthotics department? If so, they will be able to help. My local one has a drop in service where you can get straps replaced or things slightly altered by the technicians without needing an appointment with the orthotist. If not you may be able to get a referral through your gp.1

Or there are several suppliers online that do spare parts for AFO's that might be able to help such as http://www.algeos.com/afo_pad_and_strap_kit-black.html
It is though normally best to go back to the person that supplied you the AFO's.0
