Hi

I'm glad you said that about the socks - it seems like the shoes are

a little big - and we were going to try two pairs of socks. She is

wearing the smallest size and we are using the last hole on the

strap when we buckle them in. She does have the inserts in the

heel. It is just one of the feet that is slipping out more than

the other - I think this foot looks less corrected than the other

one - so it is having trouble laying flat in the shoe. I'm going to

ask the doctor about this on Monday. She did have a tenotomy on

both feet.
