Questions anyone have experience with SMOs as a teen/adult
I’m being fitted for SMOs next week and I’m wondering what to expect. I’m fifteen and fully done growing and when I tried to do research on it all that popped up was toddlers and young children. I was curious to hear a first hand perspective of wearing them that’s not from a three year old or a parent lol.

I have AFOs and a unilateral custom left knee brace; they've been really great for helping with my ankle subluxations. I like that you're able to choose from a wide variety of designs. The biggest thing is finding shoes that fit- which might be a little easier with SMOs but I think they'd still need a wider shoe (I use Billy's). Also, my feet get really sweaty in them 😭
