Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 So we've been having endless problems with Livi's shoes.. will it ever be easy? She keeps coming out of them, we take her in and they add padding, then she gets blisters. We try and get the straps on tight enought o keep her feet in, and they eventually break. So I'm going to try and make some suggestions to our orthotics department and try to get to the bottom of this ordeal. I am thinking Livi is wearing the Markells that are not specifically Ponseti Markells. Has anyone found there is a huge difference? I think she has the TARSO open toe boots right now, but I see a flyer for Ponseti Markells. I'm going to print it and bring it to my appointment tomorrow and see what they say. I'm hearing a lot about shoes - is there a link for them? Is Dr. Ponseti recommending them over Markells, and why? Thanks for your help!

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Here's the shoes link. http://mdorthopaedics.org/ They were developed to address the problems for kids with atypical club feet who didn't fit well in the Markell's or didn't use the Markell's successfully. Shoes!! Need info... So we've been having endless problems with Livi's shoes.. will it ever be easy? She keeps coming out of them, we take her in and they add padding, then she gets blisters.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 I think in some ways Dr. Ponseti is recommending the s shoes, but really only if the Markell shoes are causing relaps issues. Dr. P helped design the shoes and they are great - I think. I wouldn't change if I had any option. My experience with Markells was hell. s. Shoes!! Need info...
