first day for sandals- help

July 25, 2004

I am still worried about the position of Mitchel sandals in my

daughter foot. She wore them 2 days ago. It is not 100% positioned

down in the clubfoot leg and the left one which is normal is fine and

positioned right. At the same time she is not crying. Meanwhile i am

afraid to close it very tight that she might get sores. I do not know

how to handle this and i am very scared. Is her legs in the right

position or not. How do i know that

> Heidi,

> My daughter has these shoes and she was never fussy. Make sure that

the yellow part isn't somehow under the foot instead of beside it,

check to see that the foot is all the way down and be sure that the

tongue has little to no wrinkles. And most of all, check to be sure

the bar is set long enough. Her shoulders should fit between the

heels of her shoes.
