Re: Another shoe ? /HOW MUCH

[Guest guest]

How much are the shoes? For some reason I'm thinking they were around

$300 a pair? How long does it take to get them?

I thought I read on this site or maybe it was from Dr. P himself that they

usually recommend the 's for preemies? Just thinking if the Markells

don't work the second time around we may go this route.

Livie's shoes by the time we get new ones are barely hanging on her feet! She

didn't go into the brace until six months old and was crawling shortly after

that so she has always been tuff on the shoes. When we were seeing the doc at

the Shriners Hospital they never offered to give us her old shoes and I never

felt right about asking for them since they paid for them in the first place.

All the ones that we've gotten in Iowa though they always give us back the old

ones. I have a pair of size 2, I believe, that I would be embarrassed to

actually give to anybody!

Her last pair was a size 5N and I would love to send them off to somebody, but

they are NOT pretty! LOL!!

Good for you for doing this wonderful thing that you do!!

Re: Another shoe ?

though, next pair will be 4's!

,

Not sure if you got a response to this question yet..but when I was talking

to ('s mom) at Dr. Herzenberg's office, I think she said they

were $380.00????? I know it isn't less than $300.00! That's for sure.
