DBB - New Markell style shoe.

[Guest guest]

Hi

This is just an update on our son Connor. He is now 8 months and been

in the DBB since he was 7 weeks. We have just got his third pair of

shoes size 0. They had to be ordered as they didn't have any in

stock. They came yesterday and I was pleased to see that they were

the new Markell boots with the padded heels and tongue. He wore them

last night and I have just taken them off and there isn't a mark on

his foot or heel. The last 2 pairs have caused lots of problems with

blisters and red spots. I did think that the strap didn't seem as

long but I suppose that is the padding in the tongue. I had been

dreading getting new shoes. He has scars on his heels from the first

pair of shoes where he got infected blisters. So it looks like these

shoes will be fine. I also don't think they are very much bigger than

the 00's which is a shame, his toes are on the end. We did try one

size 0 on in the old style and they were plenty big enough, it just

means he won't be in these long and they won't guarantee that I'll

get a new pair next time. I might even buy them myself direct if that

is the case!!!! Don't want to go down that road of blisters again!!

Anyway at our last appointment they said his feet were doing great.
