Why your feet will love them:
- Experience hassle-free on-and-off. Our Easy Shoe Access technology creates larger entry portals and is easier to pull than straight, lateral or wrap-around zippers. Our zips are also YKK so they’re quality assured.
- The comfort factor. Absorb shock and improve comfort with removable sensory friendly memory foam footbeds. The memory foam insole features dual density heel, arch, and metatarsal support. Plus it’s removable so you can fit your custom orthotic if needed.
- Easy to wear. Functional elastic toggle provides tension opportunities across the instep.
- All day comfort and security. There’s anti-slip stability with our phylon soles and smooth, lateral support and breathable linings. Lateral support, anti-slip stability, and smooth, breathable linings for all-day comfort and security.
- Wide-fitting. The wide-expand upper and generous toe-box depth accommodates width requirements, swelling, orthotics, and AFO/SMOs.
- Stamped inner label. For anyone with heightened sensory needs, we’ve stamped the shoe size onto the tongue instead of using a stuck-on label.
- Measure your foot length in cm.
- You may find it easier to trace the sole of your foot (including orthotic if you wear one) on a piece of paper no the floor. Keep the pen as straight as possible for the most accurate drawing. Then measure from the back of the heel to the end of the longest toe.
- On the size chart below (adults or kids), find the foot length closest to yours.
- If your foot length is between sizes , choose the bigger size.
- Measure around the widest part of your foot (at the base of the toes where they meet the foot) in cm.
- On the size chart below (adult or kids), find the width closest to yours.
- If your foot width is between sizes, choose the bigger size
- If your width and length correspond to two different shoe sizes you will need to choose the bigger shoe size.
- For particularly wide feet or AFO wearers, you are likely to measure one to two sizes larger for width than length
Removing the insole will add an extra approx 1.3cm in width (adults) and 0.8cm in width (kids)

Lovely looking shoe but unfortunately the zip didn’t stay up as it was too tight over my daughters AFO. Friendly shoes customer service was second to none and they exchanged for a different style. Wonderful company!
