AFOs and tennis shoes

My first blog:
I have a few pairs of Asci tennis shoes because of the quality and removable insole. I got a good spring-leaf black plastic AFO on Amazon. While this help enormously I have added a second AFO that nests in my tennis shoelaces and has an elastic strap that goes up to a cuff around my angle. I have been trying this combo. This combo adds more lift one from spring action as well as the lift from the elastic AFO. Recently been researching on Amazon another concept and may buy a device that uses bungies that are adjustable. Anyone have ideas and comments would be appreciated. Jeff
