Paediatric footwear is a niche area where the right fit can make a huge difference to comfort, stability, and healthy development. At Geelong Orthotics & Footwear, the focus is on providing shoes that genuinely support a child’s needs rather than simply fitting them into whatever is available on the shelf.

​

Paediatric brands such as Schein, Piedro, and Billy Footwear offer thoughtful design features that work beautifully for children with a wide range of presentations. These shoes come in multiple sizes and widths, making them ideal for accommodating AFOs and FOs without compromising fit or function. Many styles also include wider openings, adaptive fastenings, and deeper toe boxes, which help make daily dressing easier for both kids and parents.

Some models feature stiffer or more structured soles, which can be particularly beneficial for children who toe walk. This added rigidity helps encourage a more stable heel‑to‑toe gait pattern and provides the support needed for improved alignment.
