Special shoe

Looking for info on what type of gym shoe would be best for an individual w/downs syndrome.
typically they have loose ligaments and tendons, which make their feet go outward…any suggs would be helpful.

    I have recommended high top athletic shoes for these folks. Depending on the circumstances a lace up ankle brace or even a custom ankle brace may be necessary. I would try a high top first though. Good luck
