Oh, gawd, 2shoes- what a pain.
Isn't it often the more cheapo ones that fit over affos anyway? As they tend to be open much further down to the toe?

What has she had before?

normally I get ones for under a £10 but although her feet are dinky the affos need about a adult 5.........very strange.
still i have a cheap pair that they fit into so will check the shop I got them from.

Have you tried NEXT, ds2 has wide feet & wears DAFO'S & we always get his trainers & school shoes from them.
They have loads of room & are reasonably cheap.
I got a pair of trainers from them for myself (size 6) for £18. They have 3 tab velcro fastening so would be OK getting AFO in.
Have a look at their website.

M & S kids shoes go up to a 6, they usually do a pair of trainers - probably about £15 to £20.
