Guest guest Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 hi everybody! here comes a question from me in sweden. i've heard that the distance between the shoes are going to be as wide as the shoulders. is that correct? i just heard from another clubfoot mother from sweden that it was new directions now and the bar between the shoes is going to be as wide as the hips, accordingly much more narrow. what do all you know about this? hugs from us! /veronica o wiggo http://www.wikberg.tk At 08:04 2004-04-07 -0700, you wrote: >Hey - > >Thanks for sharing.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 , It's definitely as wide as the shoulders, not the hips. If grows a little and they are a little narrower than his shoulders, he cannot sleep well he is uncomfortable! The gap between the heels should be equal to the measurement shoulder to shoulder, you can even go a little bit wider rather than narrower. and 24th Jan 2003, bilateral www.clubfoot.co.za custom fit shoes for kids > >Date: Tue, 06 Apr 2004 17:40:18 -0000 > > > >I saw this posted on the PP clubfoot board and thought it would be > >helpful to the families here.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 , yes, the distance between the shoes should be the same as the width of the baby's shoulders.
