Guest guest Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Kori, No the laces don't bother her. I don't really understand what you mean about is her foot tall? She has short legs and the laces when tied sit below her ankle. At first i removed the tongues and tighten the strap where you could see 2 or 3 holes, but this was still causing red marks but her sore was healing that she got from the tongues. So now what I do is buckle the strap until you see one hole showing and then i tighten the laces all the way up really good and now she has no red marks. Her heel is still down to. She has a chubby top foot so I think that when the strap is tightened really tight it makes it redder. I tried this with the tongues in tighten the laces tight but not the strap as tight but it didn't work at all. So the root of the problem is the tongues. They are not as wide as the old ones. I mean she has always had red marks but never sores like with these new shoes. Now no red marks. She may have a little redness right when I take off the shoes in the morning but by the afternoon they are gone completely. I would give it a try. Maybe it will work with you guys. I hope it lasts for us for a long time. I would have people ask why she had redmarks on her feet were they sores ? So then I had to give them the whole story. Just remember tighten the laces as tight as you can without breaking them and then i tie her laces with 4-6 bows so no string is hanging because she likes to untie. Just put the strap not as tight. What the tongue would do is pinch the skin when the strap would be tighten on it. The tighter you buckled them the more it would pinch. Let me know how it works for you. I hope I helped you.
