This shoe is great for SMOs, especially if you get the strap extender. My son likes the squeakers to hear that he is walking correctly and they are very easy to turn off if you’re in a quiet place. Only issue is that he drags his toe when he is tired so the toe wears out quickly, but that’s not the shoes fault. We will probably just end up buying just a single shoe which is amazing that we can do that with this company.
These shoes were perfect for our little guys first pair of “real shoes” and they fit perfect with his first pair of SMOs. I loved the idea of the squeaker to help motivate him to walk. However the squeaker requires quick a bit of pressure to make them squeak, it almost seems like they need to stomp to make them squeak and my little guy is not able to do that. Otherwise the shoe is prefect. It is light weight, the soles remove easily for his SMOs, and they are adorable!
I love these shoes for my little patient. They look good on with his AFO's.
