Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Bridget, The difference is likely the foot itself. Certain feet suffer from the 70 degree angle. These are the feet most likely to me in the shoes. Kai's shoes are set at 55, and I think that told me that her daughter's shoes are at even lesser degrees than that. For what it's worth, Kai's Markell shoes were originally set at 70 (on the cf) and he tollerated it quite well ... it just messed up his foot because of the other factors.
