That's his pair of new shoes in the photo above. We got it about 2 weeks ago, so it's not that new anymore - it's just that I didnt have time to write about it.
Cost wise, it's a fraction of the Schein shoes, at RM170 and RM20 more for sewing on the tape. The tape is used for Neurosuit purposes. Note that charges depend on the size and design. It's genuine leather and it really is customised for his wide feet, his insole, his needs so it's a reasonable price. It took about 3-4 weeks for them to make it.
I removed the insole (on the left of the photo) to show you what it looks like. Not a normal looking insole as it's a proprioceptive insole. The material that it's made of and the design cant be found locally. It's imported from Germany. Bought it from Schein at RM499. It definitely makes a difference in the way he runs.
With the new shoes, I requested for the part around the ankles to be higher to give him better ankle support and stability.
I noted that when he wore that while pushing the trolley at Tesco, he had beautiful heel-toe movement! That's when he's walking. It's a different story when he runs.
