I've started wearing an AFO on one leg for dropfoot. I wear mostly skirts. My AFO is very light colored white (almost clear) up my leg. I don't mind wearing it with sandals (I'm light skinned so you see it but it doesn't "shout" out - I'm not trying to hide it). Under boots it's all gone.
Now my problem - I don't want to wear it on top of dark stockings. That would be just plain ugly looking -maybe if I was brown skinned I would have gotten a brown AFO - maybe ladies buy different colors to match their outfit and tights .
If you're reading this and don't have an AFO, you put the AFO into the shoe first and then you slide your foot in. So there's no way to put it inside a stocking.
I found part of a solution - In the winter when I want thick tights, and when I wear short boots (with tall the AFO doesn't show), I put on socks and I wear leggings (tights that only come to your ankle). I pull the leg of the legging up to my knee, put my foot into the AFO that's in the booty and then before I zip the boot I pull down the legging over my foot and AFO to my ankle. Perfect!!
So here's the problem with that great "solution" -
1- How do I wear shoes? My ankle where the legging and sock meet won't be hidden? (I don't want those leg warmers around my ankles)
2 -And the bigger problem -- leggings are thick like tights. In the spring I want to wear stockings on top of the AFO just like I do with the leggings There aren't, stocking leggings, are there?
Anyone have a suggestion?
