Size Guide
Size Guide
To select the correct size, measure your leg from the tip of the toe to the top of the AFO / KAFO. Select the sock which is closest to that length.
There is no heel pocket, so the shoe size doesn't matter. The sock is like a long stretchy tube that will mould to the contours of the foot and leg. Measurements are the unstretched socks.

| Child Small | 5.5cm | 28cm |
| Regular | 6.5cm | 36cm |
