Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) and knee-ankle-foot orthoses (KAFOs) can sometimes be uncomfortable. The right sock can be the deciding factor between being comfortable in your AFO or KAFO and painful blisters on your foot, ankle, or leg.

AFO and KAFO socks are seamless socks that are wrinkle-free, a design that minimizes pressure that can cause blisters. Smartknit AFO Interface Socks and Smartknit KAFO Interface Socks fit like a second layer of skin, are exceptionally soft, and provide wicking of perspiration. They are also available with X-Static® – The Silver Fiber®, which regulates temperature, reduces moisture, and inhibits bacterial or fungal growth.

SmartKnit AFO and KAFO socks provide a protective barrier between the AFO or KAFO and the foot and leg, maximizing comfort and skin health for AFO and KAFO wearers.
