Ankle Foot Orthotoses
Braces made for you
We Do AFOs. Better!
If you’re experiencing ankle instability, drop foot, or lower limb weakness, a custom AFO brace may be the solution. AFOs (Ankle-Foot Orthoses) are used to restore stability, protect vulnerable structures, and help you walk more confidently. Whether you’re recovering from injury, living with a neurological condition, or managing pain from joint degeneration – a custom-designed AFO supports your unique mobility needs.
If you’ve used braces before and found them bulky, uncomfortable, or ineffective – that’s not how they should feel. There’s a better way.
Custom-Made For You
At The Foot Clinic, our expert podiatrists design AFOs in-house using advanced 3D scanning and CAD software – no generic forms or templates. Every brace is carefully tailored to your leg, foot, and ankle shape for the perfect fit.
We offer a range of brace types:
- Fixed AFOs for maximum stability
- Hinged AFOs for controlled movement
- Dynamic Assist AFOs for conditions like drop foot
This approach means better comfort, improved function, and faster return to mobility
Why Are They Expensive?
Custom AFOs are comparable to dentures or prosthetic limbs – they’re crafted specifically for your body, not picked off a shelf. Using digital technology, our podiatrists create braces that are:
Precisely fitted
Durable and lightweight
Designed for your condition and activity level
A poorly fitted brace can cause more problems than it solves. That’s why we don’t compromise on design – your mobility and independence are worth getting right the first time.
The Process
Digital Scanning
We begin with a detailed capture of your feet using advanced 3D scanning technology. This process captures the unique shape and structure of each foot, with incredible accuracy of less than 1mm.
In-House Designing
Our expert podiatrists then use the digital scans to design your custom AFO in-house. Leveraging cutting-edge software, they tailor the orthotic design to address your specific needs and foot conditions, providing optimal support and comfort.
3D Printing
Once the design is finalized, your orthotics are produced using state-of-the-art 3D printing technology. This ensures precision and accuracy, allowing us to create orthotics that fit perfectly and perform effectively for your individual foot type.
Fitting
After the AFO’s are printed, we schedule a fitting appointment to ensure they meet your comfort and support requirements. Our podiatrists make any necessary adjustments, guaranteeing that your custom orthotics help you achieve pain-free mobility.
Benefits Of Custom AFOs
The customised approach and design process means our AFOs are comfortable and easy to wear – not hard and uncomfortable like others.
The latest 3D printing allows our podiatrists to make them thinner and easier to fit into your favorite shoes. Custom AFOs allow our expert podiatrists to get you pain free sooner and back doing the things you enjoy – all whilst reducing the risk for surgical intervention!
Added Value For You
Included in the cost of our custom AFOs is a three-month warranty and review process from the date of issue.
This includes any follow-up appointments, fittings and adjustments to the AFOs to ensure you are on the path to recovery, with no hidden or ongoing costs.
