Wearing AFOs is bad enough but being comfortable in them is near impossible! And being stylish in them is a whole other story. These AFO brace socks are some of the best when it comes to comfort. While you may think they’re not very fashionable, they feel amazing! If you are looking for fashion advice,…
Show off the star you are in these outfits for perfectly imperfect women with invisible disabilities.
It’s a proven fact (I think) that when people wear trendy and fitted workout clothing as opposed to wearing just anything that fits, they feel more motivation to workout. Here are some of my favorite styles to wear for working out!
Afo (leg brace) wearers have to wear shoes when wearing afos; they simply don’t work alone. If you rely on leg braces for stability and/or foot drop, then you most likely wear both shoes and afos every-time you leave your home. I feel more comfortable wearing both shoes and braces for long periods of time…
Two years ago, I went through a breakup; the kind of breakup that makes your insides coil and introduces you to all kinds of anxiety in the form of panic attacks and sleepless nights.
A Note from Lainie: If you are looking for best shoes for footdrop, there are several brands mentioned by Rebecca below. I have updated the styles that she originally mentioned with styles and links. For other shoes that work people with more severe footdrop who require an afo and/or orthotics, there are many posts about…
Sneakers are everywhere these days! And they’re not just reserved for the gym or casual weekend wear. Cute stylish sneakers can be worn with tailored dress pants and a button-down shirt or a maxi dress in the summer. Here’s why they work for AFO and orthotic wearers: removable orthotic insole! Yup.

Everything was black & white and I remember worrying constantly…
What if No one saves me a seat at lunch?What if I NEVER get invited to Homecoming?What if no boy EVER really likes me?
I wanted to have the “perfect body” and “perfect boyfriend” just like Seventeen Magazine told me I could have and should have.
There were no Dove “Real Beauty” campaigns back in the 80’s.

But, getting the rare “Cocktail Party Attire” invite used to cause me great anxiety and stress. With an invisible physical disability I have worries most people never even think about.
What will I wear that will cover my AFO’s? How long will I have to stand in place?
Will they even have a sit down dinner? How will I hold a plate and a drink?
Maybe it’s age or planning ahead, but I don’t stress as much anymore.
