Re: how did your little ones adapt to the mitchell sandals and bar?

[Guest guest]

adapted to her sandals with ease. Dr. Ponseti

thought it would be best to start her with the sandals due

to her small feet so we don't have any experience with the Markell

shoes. I was expecting her to struggle with the shoes at least the

first day and night but she adapted very quickly. She has hed her

brace since the end of April and has not had any problems with it.

(knock on wood) From what I've read on other postings, babies with

atypical feet do very well with the shoes after being

properly corrected *even those that did not do well with the DBB and

Markells. Good luck. Let us know if you have any questions.

Kara,

My daughter also had a horrendous time in the Markells. I was

terrified of going back into the shoes and bar again. But, we had no

problems whatsoever. We switched to the s as well and she slept

through the first night, no problem. Not being able to move her feet

independently didn't seem to bother her at all. She just goes with the

flow.

It has been that way ever since. About a month now.

I hope this will be the same experience for you.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I know the sandals

will work better, so we are hopeful that he will adjust well!
