Welcome!

Celebrating Abilities Inc. started as a support group located in southwest Florida for parents of children with different abilities. We are no longer active as a group because we've all moved on to other areas of the United States. I've decided to keep the blog active so that information can be shared with our loyal families and some new ones, too.

Have a blessed day!

Hatchbacks for AFOs

http://www.hatchbacksfootwear.com/elites.html

Introducing Hatchbacks Elites, a new line of shoes designed specifically to address the needs of children wearing AFO's, DAFO's, and orthotics.

Every Hatchbacks shoe incorporates a patented Rear-Entry hinge system called "Easy Fit" that's as simple as 1, 2, 3. The "Easy Fit" system is designed to facilitate ease of entry and egress from the shoe by pivoting open at the hinge. The shoe remains firmly closed by a Velcro fastener that is also very easy to use.

To make an Elite shoe, we took our "Easy Fit" system and created a custom last molded around a brace. This new last provides extra width around the toe box, extra girth around the ankle, and more room around the heel. This means that most children will be able to wear Hatchbacks Elites that are the same size as their foot. No more wearing shoes two sizes too big! We took this specialized last and added a lightweight sole, quality materials, extra tough stitching, and great contemporary styling.
