Heel-Walking Made Fun!
Fisioterapeuta Pediátrico Aprobado
"¡Definitivamente son una herramienta genial para usar! Como fisioterapeuta, ha sido frustrante intentar y fallar en ayudar a mi propio hijo con este problema... pero la forma de caminar de mi hija ha mejorado muchísimo en las últimas semanas usando estos, ¡son los únicos zapatos con los que no puede caminar de puntillas!" - Dra. Ashley Estes alias @thept_mama
Paediatric PT Approved
"These are definitely a really cool tool to use! As a physio, it has been frustrating trying and failing to help my own child with this issue...but my girl's walking has improved a ton over the last few weeks of wearing these, they are the only shoes she can’t toe-walk in!" - Dr Ashley Estes
A los niños les encantan, a los padres también...

“Ella casi siempre usa las Aerlos. Se nota, al verla con ellos puestos, que su forma de andar y su postura mejoran. Definitivamente se los recomendaría a los padres de otros niños que caminan de puntillas. En mi ajetreada vida, es difícil encontrar el tiempo para hacer los ejercicios de estiramiento de las pantorrillas todo el tiempo. Así que el hecho de que ella pueda hacer eso fácilmente usando estos zapatos es genial”.

«A Phoebe le encantaba usar los Aerlos, pensó que se veían muy bien y dijo que eran muy cómodos. Nos quedamos realmente impresionados con ellos.Cuando usa el zapato, parece haber corregido su forma de andar y su postura.Los zapatos la devuelven a una postura normal. Cuando usaba los zapatos en la casa, se ponía de puntillas cuando se emocionaba, eso se ha detenido por completo.»

“A Nathan le encantaba usarlos, decía 'Estoy usando mis zapatos pegajosos'. Todos los padres los estaban comentando, lo geniales que eran. Son un buen estilo de zapato. Después del día 4 o 5 fue cuando noté que estaba apoyando el talón y caminando más con los pies planos. Era como si nunca hubiera caminado con los pies planos antes, ya que estaba golpeando los pies”.

Exclusion Criteria
Is Aerlos a good fit for my child?
Aerlos is designed as everyday footwear to encourage a heel-to-toe walking pattern in children who are able to achieve a heel-down position without pain, but who may continue to toe-walk.
Likely to be a good fit if:
- Your child can place their heels down when prompted and can do so comfortably.
- Their toe-walking is idiopathic, habitual, or associated with sensory preferences.
- You are looking for everyday footwear that can encourage heel-first steps alongside normal play, stretching, exercises or advice from a healthcare professional.
- Your child is transitioning from an AFO, casting or other intervention and their treating clinician has advised that everyday footwear is appropriate.
- Your child has tight or shortened calf muscles but can still achieve a comfortable heel-down position.
Aerlos may not be appropriate if:
Aerlos is not intended to replace prescribed orthoses, AFOs, casts or other professional treatment.
Do not use Aerlos as a substitute for professional assessment where your child:
- Cannot place their heels down flat, even when prompted.
- Experiences pain when attempting to achieve a heel-down position.
- Has a fixed equinus deformity or significant contracture.
- Has significant spasticity affecting their walking pattern.
- Has foot drop or a crouch gait.
- Has a neuromuscular, neurological or orthopaedic condition that affects their gait, including conditions such as cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy.
- Has a significant structural foot deformity.
- Has an open wound, ulceration or other injury affecting the foot.
- Has a condition for which an orthosis or other prescribed footwear intervention is required.
- Has significant hypermobility or sensory defensiveness where footwear may require individual clinical assessment.
If your child has a diagnosed medical, neurological, neuromuscular or orthopaedic condition, or currently uses prescribed orthotics, please speak with your child's healthcare professional before introducing Aerlos. Aerlos should be used alongside, rather than instead of, prescribed treatment where applicable.
A note about toe-walking
Persistent toe-walking should be discussed with a healthcare professional, particularly where it is persistent, worsening, painful, asymmetric, or accompanied by other changes in walking or development. Many children who toe-walk do so without an underlying neurological or orthopaedic condition, but individual assessment is important.
Aerlos is not a magical fix for toe-walking, and it will not work for every child. It is designed to be a supportive everyday footwear option for children for whom encouraging a heel-to-toe walking pattern is appropriate.

How to Measure:
- Place your child's foot on a flat piece of paper and trace the outline.
- Measure from the heel to the longest toe.
Measure the widest part of the foot for width. - Repeat for both feet and use the larger foot to choose the shoe size.
- Compare those measurements with the foot measurements in our size chart above.
