Yes! And we have the s which can be time consuming buckling all

the straps. squirms all over the place while I try to put them on.

So I am trying to buckle each strap, hold her in place, tighten the strap

BEFORE she moves again, which usually takes 2-3 times before succeeding,

all at the same time! Sometimes I wish I was an octopus, then maybe I

could master it faster. I also think when is out of the squiggly

stage, it will be a breeze.

Last night my husband got so frustrated, because she would just not sit

still! He threw the s across the room. I was pissed!!! " Do you

know how much those cost? " All I saw was $$ signs flashing before my

eyes. They are only 2 weeks old. Needless to say, I ended up putting on

the shoes, with no trouble I might add. Husbands, geesh!!!

hummmm... maybe it's a good thing all of you have s... in the

past, it's taken me as long as 8-10 min to get the Markells on. Of

course, now it's much quicker, about 2-3 min (although I haven't timed

myself) but at first... well we had a lot of problems and it was a huge

deal every day that took FOREVER even when it went just fine.

I decided that I would just add my experience on this. I have NO

problems putting 's Markell shoes on. She also has had no

problems with blisters, sores, etc. It was the same way the first

time around (despite her foot not being fully corrected because her

DBB was also not set correctly). Sometimes she is just plain fussy

because it's bedtime and then my DH steps in and reads her a book

but I manage just fine on the nights he's not here to distract her.

Maybe because she's older now but once we got the hang of it with

her first set, then we've had no more problems. I actually worry

that I get them TOO tight. How crazy is that? Her buckles buckle

on the 6th eyehole on both shoes. Seems really tight to me but I so

worry about them not being tight enough that I really yank them.
