Why your feet will love them:
• Hassle-free on-and-off. The zip (what we call ‘easy shoe access’) creates larger entry portals and is easier to pull than straight, lateral or wrap-around zippers.
• Wide-expanding upper and generous toe-box depth. Our widest shoe, great for accommodating wider feet, swelling, orthotics and AFO/SMO.
• They absorb shock. The memory foam footbed features dual density heel, arch, and metatarsal support. Plus it’s removable so you can fit a custom orthotic.
• Padded heel collar. Helps to stabilize your feet and feels great.
• Removable memory foam insoles. Looking for extra cushion? Keep these in. They absorb shock and impact. You can fit a heel raise under them, but can also replace with custom orthotics if you want to.
• Sensory friendly. We have smooth linings and instead of stuck on labels, we stamp our sizing detail onto the tongue.
• Rocker sole. To aid propulsion and even pressure distribution.

My son Ashton has these shoes, we brought the 2 sizes to big so that he could also wear them with his leg splints. Although we found they fit very well it would be easier if there were Velcro straps rather than laces and if the side zip could go further round the back of the shoe allowing for easier access. Certainly not a bad review, these shoes are brilliant

I really love these trainers and have different pairs. I find the trainers very supportive at the ankle and easy to wear because of the position of the zip. They are also very stylish .

These shoes are so easy for my son to get on over his orthotic splints. What’s more is he can easily get them on independently, which is amazing! Friendly shoes communication regarding my order of these shoes was excellent. I informed each step of the way as to where my order was and how long it was expected to take etc. I will definitely make further purchases from friendly shoes in future.

These are the only shoe my son can independently put on over his splints. The only negative is that the soles are quite soft so wear down quickly with his gait but we’ve bought again and again for school shoes.
