These shoes fit my son's SMOs great, and they are very comfy! However, he's only been wearing them about 2 weeks, and the cloth tops are already picked up, and the shoes already look pretty worn out (white toes getting scuffed and pulled apart, etc). One of the zipper pulls fell off right away. Overall they are okay, but not sure I would purchase again.
They are cute and seem good quality. However I wouldn’t call them wide. My daughter wears AFOs that are pretty wide. I read a lot of reviews and took a chance. She can get them on but they are a pinch tight and hurt her. Bummer out she won’t be able to use them.
I wish these were designed so that you didn't need two different sized shoes if you have any AFO. It actually fits over our son’s afo, although, barely, it really needs to be deeper. But, the other shoe just falls of his non-braced foot. Unfortunately because they were clearances, we can't return them.
Purchased these for my adult handicapped son who has limited range of motion especially with his right leg.
The unique zippered upper shoe allows him to get his feet into the shoes and viola zip them tight after pulling them on with the loop located at the top rear of the shoe.
I really like the shoes but not quite wide enough with AFO what is comparable to men's excursion EE
I ordered these for my son who has very wide feet and is always complaining about his feet hurting when he wears shoes. He loves his new shoes! Good quality and nice support.
My son loved these shoes. I wasn't sure they would fit over his AFO's because they look narrow, but they did. I have tried other brands and even though they fit they would wear down after just a few months on the bottoms or the zippers would break. We just got these so hopefully they will last longer than the other brands. It's expensive enough paying for the braces, I can't have shoes that only last 2 months.
My daughter wears full AFO‘s and I had bought a pair of 13s men’s size from you. I feel that they could could’ve been a little wider for her AFO’s.
Not able to zip around grandson’s braces. May need bigger than I thought but still wish they were slightly higher in the heal. Zip is a good idea but maybe Velcro would have more give. Prices are really good.
The shoes are beautiful. We will be reordering a bigger size.
I can put my braces on without help which is what I was looking for. I wasn’t sure if friendly was even a real Company but was willing to try. Best decision ever for my AFO’s. I strongly suggest others use this company for their shoe AFO needs.
My son loves them, but says they squeak after prolonged walking.
This is my 3rd pair since the stroke. I'm 45 and it's nice to have some shoes that feel like real shoes that I can put on by myself. I tell physical therapists, occupational therapists, and my AFO guy about them as well as other patients and fellow stroke survivors. Life changing!
The quality is excellent and I find tiny, functionally sound improvements with each new line. I've tried other brands and nothing else does what I need. Friendly does it and does it well. Do yourself a favor and get a pair.
I wear an AFO brace and has difficulty finding issue I can get in and out of. TheTenease allows me to get in easily With its side zipper. I ordered a nine when I should’ve ordered a 10 so I will exchange but I think these shoes are wonderful and I show them to every doctor I visit. They are very impressed.
It's holiday time. Pa page wash shipped out of their warehouse quickly but is still stuck in transfer.
This is my third pair of these shoes. I literally wear them everyday because they fit perfectly and are easy for me to put on. I am a stroke recovery person with use of only my right hand. These are the best shoes I have ever worn, I can put them on in under 30 seconds. Most of my other shoes take 5-10 minutes to put on. Bravo Friendly Shoes! ... Alan S.
I'm embarrassed trying to put my shoes on. These have helped tremendously to solve that issue for me.
I love the look of these shoes. Unfortunately, because of the style of my AFO brace, they just did not fit for me.
