Kids Shoe Strap Extenders for AFO, SMO & Leg Braces — Extra Length for Velcro for Children's Wide Feet, Orthotics & High Insteps

Finally — A Real Fix for Kids' Shoes That Won't Close Over Braces or Orthotics

If your child wears an AFO, SMO, or leg brace, you already know the frustration: shoes that fit perfectly before the brace simply won't fasten anymore. Children's shoes tend to run small to begin with. Kids shoes where not designed to account for the extra width and volume that a AFO or SMO adds — leaving parents searching for a solution that actually works.

These Kids Shoe Strap Extensions solve the problem in seconds.
