I'm so happy with my new boots. They are comfortable with and without my Carbon Fibre AFOs. #orthoboots #spinabifidaocculta #paralysedfeet #nhsboots #internalraise

New NHS boots fresh from the box. They're Footmatch branded and made from plaster cast negatives of my feet.

After talking to my physio last week, she hadn't realised that I wear my big boot and caliper from morning to night in the house. She suggested that I try a cam walker around the house instead. It is heavier than my caliper but very supportive. #camwalker #moonboot #wantanotherformyleftleg #spinabifida #shortleg #sexylimp

My Christmas present from my girlfriend. I can't walk far in them unaided but the raise is perfect. #hushpuppies #builtupboot #spinabifida #orthopaedicboots

Walking with my polio brace and boots. My right boot is filled with a compound rubber insole to lessen the difference between the lengths of my legs. My girlfriend bought me these as playthings.

Walking to the car and getting in. I was struggling today. My legs were particularly stiff.

Removing my iron to drive the car.

I bought myself two pairs of DMs on eBay to make one pair. I can fit my AFOs inside and look almost normal. I still have a heavy limp without my crutch. #spinabifida #DMs #Docs #boots #builtupboot

Megan. Such an amazing sight to see as she limps along. She is profoundly deaf and paralysed down her left side.

I wish I still had these boots. They were comfortable. The right one used to squeak and groan as I walked.

Not sure what this guy's condition is. Definite deformity of the lower legs and feet. Possibly Arthrogryposis? I love his boots and the way they are worn down at the back. Bradford, West Yorkshire.
