Has anyone had Shoes slip? What was the outcome?

[Guest guest]

Hi, in my previous post I told of how the sandals are

slipping off Tommys right foot. I searched the archives and found

some others had the same problem. Can you tell me what the outcome

was and how it was resolved.

Thanks in advance,

Hi diana, We had problems with the right shoe as well. My husband

finally put a couple extra holes in the top ankel strap and that has

helped tremendously. I don't know how long your son's been in the

shoes, but we had just gotten him out of casts and into the shoes when

we were having the problems, dr. ponseti said it may take a few weeks

for the foot to settle into the shoe. We have also found that

physical therapy is helping at keeping his heel chord loose thus

keeping his heel down in the shoe. funny that it's the right one again...

hope this helps,

,

We just got the shoes on Friady so maybe he needs some time for the

heel to settle down. I am praying that is the case. I e-mailed Dr.

Ponseti with some pictures so I'll see what he has to say. Thanks

for the encouaging words.

Oh, I meant to tell you as well, we put thicker socks on him. that

seemed to help as well. There are quite a few posts around here about

empty heels, until these guys get walking, stand them as much as

possible to help those heels form. Maybe Dr. P can refer you for PT,

that has helped us tremendously in getting him standing and pushing

that heel further down. Just a thought,
