Re: unilateral clubfoot and shoes

Melitsa,

I would recommend www.preschoolians.com

The shoes *are* kind of expensive, about equivalent to Stride Rite

only with more to offer. You can get a mixed size pair at no

additional charge if you have your dr. fax them a note that states

that Ridley's feet are two different sizes for medical reasons. They

send you multiple width inserts for the shoes, the shoes are machine

washable and 100% guaranteed. Plus they have free shipping in the US

(maybe to APO/FPO also) and reduced rate world-wide shipping. They

have good on-line customer service too. has a pair and they're

serving us well.

I'm glad Ridley is doing so well!!

Nordstrom's does mismatch sizes for one price too. Don't know how

to go about it on-line but I would think they have a customer sevice

number.

you can call any of the stores and order that way. Just ask for the

children's shoe department. I think they might ship to you as well.
