Orthopedic AFO (Ankle–Foot Orthosis) pads play a crucial role in enhancing the comfort, protection, and overall wearability of an orthotic device. While the orthosis itself provides structure and alignment, the padding is what helps ensure the device can be worn comfortably throughout the day.
At first glance, AFO pads may appear similar, but the materials used can make a noticeable difference in cushioning, durability, moisture handling, and long-term comfort. That’s why we offer our AFO pads in two thoughtfully designed orthopedic material combinations: felt with vinyl and Volara® with vinyl. Each option serves a distinct purpose and is suited for different needs, environments, and wear schedules. See our AFO material comparison chart below for more information.
