Piedro boots help

The problem I have is mild learning disabilities (dyspraxia) and severe flat feet and ankle problems on both feet and Pedro boots to help give me some support but my right foot and ankle is the one that is the worst one may need to look at something like afo with arch that can use with my Piedro boots
I have a new pair of Pedro boots but this time wool/skeepski and hopefully help to keep my feet warm in order to stop some pain and stiffness I get in feet and ankles all year round more so cold weather wet, damp

Hi there @adamlathamsmith How are you today?
I was going to suggest reading @Chloe_Scope 's 'Finding suitable shoes for AFO splints' post but I've just spied you on thereI'll mark this post 'unanswered' incase anyone else has other ideas.
Your new Pedro boots sound super cosy and warm by the way so I hope they help.

Hi @adamlathamsmith
Have you been assessed for an AFO before? If not I would definitely discuss a referral to a physiotherapist with your GP. Ankle issues should not be ignored.Scope

I can't recommend the type of AFO. That would be for the physiotherapist to assess and suggest.Scope
