What shoes are best for a woman with drop foot (1-2/5)?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Foot drop: A boot can be helpful otherwise a tennis shoe or dress shoe that can accommodate an ankle foot orthosis (afo), assist in normalizing gait by helping to eliminate high stoppage gait or circumduction of the "relatively" long leg and help prevent you catching your toes or forefoot as you advance your leg while walking.

One that fits: An ankle foot orthotic. I think walking would be easier with an afo.
