I have drop foot. I did not like the AFOs that fit in the shoe so I searched and found the Turbomed. I can use it with any shoe I own to include sandals, hiking shoes, running shoes, riding shoes, and dress shoes. For my bike I use pedal extenders to keep the inner part of the external brace from hitting the crank arm. I use my Turbomed for walking, running, and hiking too. The brace was covered by my insurance. I bring this up just to offer another option since it was a game changer for me. It may or may not work for everyone.
I really hate that I'm just now finding out about this AFO. I've tried a bunch of them and I've hated almost all of them
