Launching Winter 2026

Make everyday brace wear more comfortable.

Standard socks weren’t designed for the heat, friction and pressure inside an AFO (ankle-foot orthosis). BraceLiner AFO Socks are designed specifically for that environment.

They create a purpose-designed layer between your skin and your brace, helping manage moisture, reduce rubbing and improve everyday comfort without unnecessary bulk.

Designed specifically for AFO wear

  • Moisture-managing construction
    Designed to help manage sweat and reduce the clammy feeling that can develop during longer periods of brace wear.

  • Padded ankle zones
    Targeted cushioning around common ankle contact areas for added comfort inside the brace.

  • Low-bulk construction
    Comfort and protection without taking up unnecessary space inside your AFO or footwear.

  • Smooth internal finish
    Minimises prominent seams and unnecessary texture against the skin.

  • Reinforced high-wear areas
    Added durability around areas exposed to repeated brace friction, including the ankle and heel.

  • Secure, comfortable cuff
    Designed to stay in place without feeling unnecessarily tight.

  • AFO-friendly length
    Knee-high coverage suitable for a wide range of AFOs.

Who are BraceLiner AFO Socks for?

Designed for children and adults who wear AFOs, particularly during longer periods of daily wear or for users who experience rubbing, sweating, sock bunching or discomfort with standard socks.

Materials

97% nylon · 3% elastane

A lightweight, durable nylon-rich construction with stretch to help maintain a comfortable, close fit inside the brace.

Why BraceLiner exists

Most AFOs are carefully designed. What sits between the brace and your skin usually isn’t.

The sock forms the interface between your skin and your brace, where friction, pressure, heat and movement are experienced throughout the day.

BraceLiner was designed specifically for that overlooked part of the brace-wearing experience.

It does not replace a well-fitted orthosis or appropriate clinical review. But small changes at the interface can make a meaningful difference to everyday brace comfort.

These have to be the best afo socks I have tried!
I’ve worn afos for most of my life and have tried various types of sock and these are by far the best. The thickness is spot on, thick enough to help stop red marks from straps etc, but not too thick that they affect the fit of your splints. The moisture wicking is brilliant, I’m an adaptive CrossFit athlete and get extremely sweaty in my braces but these socks really help that. The fit is great, enough to cover all parts needed so you don’t get plastic on skin, but not too much extra that it’s baggy or has too much bunched at the top of the brace like other brands I’ve tried. The compression is just enough to hold the sock in place without squeezing uncomfortably on sensitive toes.

Like many parents with children, socks and AFO’s can be a battle and a half, but honestly my daughter really loves these, she comments regularly how soft they are, comfy and most importantly how her foot is not sweaty in them compared to bamboo socks we’ve used for years. From a parents view point I really appreciate the section across the ankle for extra support where the Y strap goes across this part. I would recommend these to every parent and adult that requires a AFO/smo or foot brace of any kind, finally found socks that give the right support and comfort level we’ve been hunting for. Thank you for taking the time to help create an amazing product.

My son said these are the comfiest socks he's ever worn with his AFO. We've tried so many different ones over the years but will definitely be continuing with these from now on. He normally marks really easily and get a very sweaty foot and leg, but there has been none of this at all. Will for sure be looking out for darker colours in these.

The BraceLiner is the most comfortable sock my daughter has ever worn. There was zero slippage or bunching and no redness from afo straps. The BraceLiner was noticeably better at handling sweaty feet, meaning there was no damp sock during physio. I definitely hope these come in different colours as we need black socks for school.

The socks were very comfortable and after a long day at school I noticed less sweat on my legs, they also fit very well on my leg and in the splints.

Small changes at the interface can make a meaningful difference.
