An ankle foot orthotic sits within the shoe. Similar to an orthotic having a customised sole, it also comes up the sides of the ankle to mid calf and looks a little like an ankle brace.

They can be used to treat Footdrop, severe ankle instability and neuromuscular conditions like Charcot Marie Tooth or Cerebral Palsy.
