leg braces (AFOs)
NEW: its a brace (itsabrace.com) now redirects to this image. It's now written on my brace. Not the best url, but hopefully will get the message to a few. Feel free to suggest a better URL.
I wear one of these in each of my tennis shoes (or any shoes that I'm wearing). Been doing so for about 15 years. They are a miraculous piece of thermoextruded plastic that enables me to walk and run and keep up with my 5 year old. Otherwise, I'd have to stop and rest every 400 feet or so.
Because my daughter may someday inherit this, I make it a point to wear shorts when I wear these to pretend I won't change my life because of a relatively minor disability. Some days are tougher to tolerate than others.
Most people take a glance and go on their way. No problem, the braces are odd looking. I'm a curious person and appreciate their curiosity.
Some people just stop and glare.
For them - a special message.
Maybe I should sell website advertising on them?
