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. The Elites series are available now from the Hatchbacks Web Store. We plan to make the Elites available through local resellers and clinics as well. If you are interested in selling Hatchbacks, please contact us. |

"Easy On/Easy Off: The Shoes That Let You In" – an on-line article by Adrienne Bergen PT ATP "It is hard for kids in braces to learn to walk if the shoes are too big over their braces. Your shoes are perfect, plus easy for a child with disabilities to learn to put on by themselves. Thank you very much!!!!" Michelle B. "I just wanted to tell you I am a mother of a 4 year old daughter with CP and these shoes have been the best solution and most cost effective solution to her wearing braces that I have found. She can actually wear the size she is currently in and them not cause her the pain of trying to force regular shoes on ....thank you." Amy "I have found your products. Hallelujah! I love them. My son has a rare form of Cerebral Palsy and has to wear a brace. I have tried so many shoes and had to buy two pair at a time. I now can buy only one pair and use the same size for both feet with the brace. These are a godsend! I have told so many people about them." Betty E. "At first I thought the price of the shoes was on the high side; but I am glad that I bought the shoes every time I put them on my daughter. My daughter improves her walking because she does not have to tackle wearing bigger shoes. Putting the shoes on is a breeze. Thanks again for the great product and great customer service." Jacky Y. |
