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.0 -
I am use new piedro with stability with fur so hopefully this help with pain if not I go back April time in warm weather and get afo then
the other problem I will have is find footwear to fit over afo as my feet are very wide and that bad enough when I could just walk into shop and whach footwear I wanted mean I still need piedro boots0 -
What types of afo etc that will help or may help when I go back in April if I do need to0

I can't recommend the type of AFO. That would be for the physiotherapist to assess and suggest.0

I was thinking more like a link so I can get a idea eg from what other have use0

Here is a link with some of the types.

However, a medical professional will decide what type you need.0
