Hi, I have 4 year old twin boys, one twin has mild cerebral palsy, from lack of oxygen at birth, he walks with a AFO splint, just wondering if there are such wellies that would fit AFO’s? Looking forward to any replies xx

Welcome to the community @twinmum1980
Sorry for my late reply. How are you doing today?
I'm afraid I don't have a personal recommendation, but I hope one of our members will. I'll also tag our Specialist Information Officer for CP, @Richard_Scope, in here in case he knows of anything.
I did also find this video on YouTube about how to get wellies over AFOs, which you may find helpful.

Hi @twinmum1980
Barefoot-friendly wellies for kids have some good suggestions for wider fit wellington boots that may be helpful.0
