Re: shoes vs. Markell shoes

[Guest guest]

I have used both shoes and this is what I came up with:

Pros

Holds the foot with 3 straps

Work for atypical clubfeet

Has holes in the back to see that heal is down

Made with very soft leather

Cons

Insurance won't pay

Some cracking in the black plastic on the front and back

Takes several weeks to get

Markell Pro's

Insurance will pay

Holds correction for most clubfeet

Cons

Can allow slipping and blisters

No holes to see that heals are down

My advice is to try the Markell shoes again. You will be able to

tell in the first couple days if you are going to have a problem. I

would take them off every couple hours for the first few days to

check for red spots/blisters. If you do have a problem call

and explain your problem and try and get the other shoes

asap. Worst-case scenario you need to put him back in cast for a

couple weeks until the shoes arrive. JMO.
