Keeks

Adaptive footwear for children and adults in Ireland

Keeks is an Irish online store focused on adaptive and AFO-friendly (ankle-foot orthosis) and orthotic footwear, aimed at both children and adults. The company presents itself as 100% Irish-owned and operates through keeks.ie, with shipping in Ireland and sales in euros. Its catalogue is organised by age, by width and by category, and the store itself offers a sizing guide specifically for AFO footwear.

Origin of the project

The company explains that its activity stems from its founders' experience searching for adaptive footwear and clothing for their son Kian, and from the difficulties they encountered in finding this type of product. It is this experience that they say they use to make it easier to access footwear and accessories that simplify families' daily lives.

Footwear catalogue

The footwear is grouped by age into three blocks: toddler sizes, kids' sizes and adults' sizes. It can also be filtered by width, with Medium (MDR), Wide (WDR) and Extra-Wide (XDR) options. Featured models in the catalogue include Billy Footwear trainers, with examples such as the Kid's Navy Billy CS Sneaker High Tops, the Kid's Black to the Floor BILLY CS High, the Kid's Black/Gum BILLY Sport Inclusion DZ1, the Kid's Navy/Pink BILLY Sport Inclusion DZ1, the Kid's Black Leather BILLY Goat Classic High Tops, the Kid's Black Billy Goat AFO Friendly Shoe, the Kid's Black Billy Goat High Top AFO Friendly Shoe and the Kid's White/Black BILLY CS High.
