Re: re: help with dbb shoes

[Guest guest]

If you've tightened them enough that they are not slipping then it's probably

not a problem with correction. My daughter developed a red mark on her heel

even though her shoes were not slipping. We put a Bandaid Blister Blocker on it

for a few days and it cleared right up. The bandaid has gel in it that we put

right over the mark and it prevents the shoe from causing a pressure sore. It

took several weeks of a few days on with the bandaids and a few days off for the

skin on her heel to " toughen up " and she hasn't had a red mark since.

Hope this helps you!

re: help with dbb shoes

can anyone tell me what to do when the dbb shoes keep on slipping?

my daughter samantha has been in them for about 3weeks and she still

can not get used to them and i posted this last week and i was told

to try the old navy shoes with grips on the bottom but today she was

just screaming so i took them off to see what the problem was and i

guess since her foot slips on the back of her heel it looked sore

and also on her big toes it had the mark of the side of her shoes. i

put them on tight so they would not slip but they still do. they do

not come off anymore cause ive tightend them but they rub on the

back of her heel and it is sore, any suggestions? thanks!

I just re-read your message and I guess you think they are still slipping? Have

you tried pulling on her leg once the shoes are on to see if her toes move? If

you pull up on her leg and her toes move then the shoes either aren't tight

enough or the foot is not fully corrected. Are you sure that you are getting

her heel all the way down in the shoe? You really need to wedge it in there

tight and strap those suckers down! For the longest time I thought for sure I

was cutting off the circulation in Olivia's foot, but she's done fine with them

tight as can be.

If her foot is not moving, then try the bandaids!

Sorry about the confusion!

Once the foot is corrected, it takes quite awhile for the heel to fill in,

so the foot can slip out of the shoe a lot. I thought I was going to go mad.

Only my daughter's clubfoot slipped at least a dozen times a day. After

awhile, it just stopped. Once I found this list, I learned that the heel

isn't properly formed which is one reason why the shoes may just slip off a

lot.

I did read your more recent post that you had tried four tips and now

they're staying on, so that's a relief...

Hope this helps!
