Are your sons braces dafo's?  because if they are the same braces my son has which I imagine they are, the shoe doesn't even touch the foot really because the foot is surrounded by the device. But yes they do have orthotic shoes that are pretty expesive, I would suggest you ask the PT, they know where to send you.  Or like I said try Stride Rite, that is where I took my son to begin with and they have brace adaptable shoes.  But like I said, our therapist suggested to us not to spend a whole lot of money on shoes, because the shoe isn't the support, it's the braces.  Has your son recieved his braces yet? If not, it is pretty obvious why I can't get my point accross.  But like I said, talk to the PT, I know here in Cincinnati we have one store down town that makes them.  But they are nothing special other then extended velcro for easy fitting and inner soles that can be built up or down.  To me they are nothing more than a shoe I can buy at Wal Mart for about $25 cheaper.

thanks but i was more looking for an orthotic shoe,
ones that will serve the purpose of the braces.  my
son gets major brusing and now sores.  there has to be
someone who makes just an orthotic shoe.  no?
