Think elasticated waistbands, comfy and concealed, making it a breeze to slip them on independently. No more zipper or button headaches – just effortless style!

Flats Are Where It’s At!
Next up, let’s dive into the Spring 2024 trend of flats– a game-changer for those of us who wear AFOs and/or live with foot related angst and have struggles to find stylish and comfortable footwear.
This season, ballet flats, embellished flats, and all other flat-sole shoes are taking center stage, offering a perfect blend of fashion and functionality.
Flats aren’t just fashionable – they’re also practical and accommodating for individuals with disabilities. This is especially true of
Mary Jane style flats – their distinctive
attached straps across the instep can provide added security, support, and stability.
Ballet flats, with their classic silhouette and timeless appeal, are a staple in any wardrobe. Their simplicity makes them incredibly versatile, allowing you to pair them with anything from jeans to dresses for a polished yet effortless look.
Embellished flats, on the other hand, add a touch of glamour to any outfit. Whether adorned with rhinestones, beads, or embroidery, these shoes make a statement while still offering the comfort and ease of flats.
If you wear AFOs it can be challenging to find flats that have enough width and depth for your leg braces as well as attached straps. Here’s a cool hack I discovered:
You can turn any flat shoe into a Mary Jane style by adding an embellished elastic shoe band. Pretty cool, right?
And let’s not forget about

Hi there! I love the idea of the ballet flat but I’m concerned about fit. I have an afo and have to remove the sole of the shoe, put the device in then put the sole back on top of it. Is there enough depth in the shoe to be able to do something like that? I’m not sure, and would hate to order a shoe and essentially ruin it without knowing if it would work or not:( ahh the things we have to deal with 😆
Hi Ashley,
Thanks for reaching out and great question! So, normally ballet shoes would not have enough depth for me either. Look for the ones that have removable footbeds and/or extra width and higher backs to get the depth you need. If there’s a pair you like, feel free to email me directly, and I’ll tell you if I think it will work. Info@trend-able.com
What a great blog post! Thank you do much! I found several cute new jeans and even added a pair of ballet flats to my cart. I’m onto the jewlery soon but wanted to write to let you know that your hard work is very appreciated. .
