I cannot fit shoes on my child for the life of me! Not that he needs shoes because he doesnt walk, but its nice to feel normal you know? Plus recently Kale has taken a liking for standing(of course with our assistance holding him up), so our Physio Lynn has given us some AFO's (Ankle Foot Orthosis).
Finding a shoe for Kale before these contraptions proved to be very challenging not only because of his fat littlle feet, but because he curled his toes when you try to put them in anything! Then I discovered Hatchbacks!!
Not only do the look so cute they bend in the center to help you put them on, the tongue on them comes all the way down to help ensure there toes go to the tip of the shoe with ease! So these shoes are not only stylish they are easy to use and specialy designed for AFO's!!
Welcome

Those shoes are adorable. My Kale has to get AFO's soon to so I will have to check those shoes out.
