    "...most common mismatch is a shoe too big..."
    We often see this mismatch in our client base that have Downs Syn., a very wide foot, and those that wear AFO's.

    The clients that wear AFO's are told by one of our major hospitals here in Melb. "Just get a shoe two sizes too big and you should be right" :bash: one even sent me a letter stating to this.

    I'd like to see them wear a shoe two sizes too big:butcher:
