Guest guest Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 Hello, Ethan (5/28/02 - bilateral)has been in the DBB for 3+ months and is wearing 000 shoes. His toes are coming over the front and when I take his feet out for appx 8 hours/day his feet seem like the shoes might be a little small for him in the width. I recently ordered new shoes through the group that Dr. Ponseti's office uses and they sent me a size 0 medium width for his next shoes. When I tried one of the shoes on him, they seemed really HUGE. Do you have any tips on when to go to the next size? Will they be big for a while? I can still get his feet all the way down in his current shoes. Thanks for any tips, pointers, etc. & Ethan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 and Ethan, There are also shoes that are 00 that may fit better than the 0 shoes until he grows into them. The American Prosthetics group should be able to send those to you. and (3-17-99) > Hello, > Ethan (5/28/02 - bilateral)has been in the DBB for 3+ months and is > wearing 000 shoes.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 Hi , When the toes can bend over the front openning of the shoe it's time to change.. It seems like Ethan is there now so it time for a change. And yes, the shoes will be big for a while but not for long! The important thing with the new shoes is that the heels stay firmly in place at the back. Our daughter has been out of the shoes a while but the thing about the heels has stuck with me because we were always concerned about the new shoes.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 , Whenever Zoe's shoes get too small, she starts having difficulty going to sleep at naptime and nighttime. Also, she starts waking more often. This is also the case when the bar is too small. At first I thought it was coincidence, but after the third time, I caught on. Once when I was waiting for a larger pair of shoes, the shoe store clerk told me to unlace a hole or two at the bottom so her foot wouldn't feel as much pressure on her foot at the end of the shoe. There have been times when I waited too long, so when I got the next size, she only wore them for a month or two before going to the next size. She probably could've skipped that size. The things you learn after the fact! Now I order two sizes at a time because once she gets uncomfortable in the shoes, it could take up to a week to get the next size. That's a lot of sleep disrupted nights. As soon as I put the new shoes on, the problem stops. Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 thanks for your help with the shoe issue. It looks like you skipped several sizes at a time- that makes me feel better moving from the 000 to the 0. If the shoes seem to slip after a few days, I will go ahead and get the 00, if necessary. i really appreciate all your help .

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 thank you! Sounds like Zoe is growing fast! I think Ethan is getting to the point where the shoes might bother him a little and his feet hang over about 1/4 of an inch...so its just time. Its great to hear that you have been able to donate the shoes to a great cause! I like the idea of bronzing the first pair. take care, wendy > > > > > Hi , > > > Our daughter has always skipped a size in the shoes each time we > > > ordered new > > > shoes because Dr.Ponseti did'nt want her to grow out of them too > > > quickly. > > > Maybe because we live so far away he did this or maybe because he felt > > > that > > > it really did'nt make a difference if the shoes seemed a little big as > > > long > > > as her heals stayed down.
