I have a sweet 3 year old girl who has Cerebral Palsy. She wears AFOs.
This is what they look like

I want to put some treads on the bottom of her AFO's because right now the bottoms are flat plastic.
She loves to go around the house without shoes on sometimes, and I want to give her the chance to do that without having her take off her AFOs. She likes them on her and tells me it feels good to have them on.
I have looked around online and cannot find much.
One idea I have is if putting treads on them myself does not work is to make some men's tube socks into slipper socks and put those over the AFOs. But again, where do I find the rubber treads?
I would love some suggestions and ideas!
Thanks!
