GabeTop™ by SophWear™ is an AFO-friendly adaptive high-top with a supportive structure and wide opening, designed for comfort, stability, and confidence with every step.
 
Unlike standard shoes, GabeTop™ is made for children and families who need more than everyday footwear. The supportive high-top structure adds stability and room for a brace while keeping the shoe stylish, lightweight, and easy to wear.
 
Each pair also includes two 10° ToeLift™ inserts — one for the left shoe and one for the right shoe — giving families an added starter-support option for toe lift, foot positioning, balance, and mobility confidence.
