Re: shoe question

[Guest guest]

,

We thought that we could go until 's toes were over the edge as many do in

the Markells. However, our daughter's feet relapsed and we were discussing a

variety of things with Dr. P and . When I mentioned that her toes hung over

the edge of her first shoes (she started complaining when we first started

wearing the second pair which made me first wonder about relapsing) and Dr.

P both said that what what used to be the yellow part must be against the joint

where the toe meets the foot (for lack of a better way to describe it). If the

joint moves out from there, the shoes aren't doing their job. Does that make

sense?

shoe question

Hi. I was wondering at what point I need to order new shoes for

. His big toe is now just at the edge of the shoe. The other toes still

have about 1/2 centimeter. Can the toes hang over the edge a bit? Also, I read

on someone's entry, that his shoes are being covered by insurance. Please could

you tell me more, as these shoes are on the expensive side!!

Many thanks,

We had this problem with our second pair. The first never cracked and we now

have our third pair which has a changed design so it looks like it won't crack

nearly as easily. Our daughters was cracked for a long time and I worried like

you did but we survived without incident until we needed to order the next size

up. When we talked to he offered to make a new pair as well but since we

were so close to changing sizes we decided to just wait it out. We're glad we

did. didn't have to rush a pair and things worked out fine.

Just for your information, on both shoes all of the little thinner lip had

cracked off of all of the front half of the shoes and the larger but still thin

lip surrounding the yellow insert on the back half of one show was cracked and

just hanging on my a small part however when not pressured, it sat against the

bottom of the shoe and didn't appear to be broken if that makes sense. It was

just by fluke that we even noticed it was about to break off so who knows how

long it lasted that way.

shoe question

Hi,

I know that some of you have experienced this, so I'm hoping you can help.

's shoes have started chipping and cracking. The part that is breaking

is the thin black raised part at the back of the shoe. So far, it has not

affected the shoe at all, but I don't know how much more can break off without

it causing problems. I don't want to order new shoes just yet, because he still

has a way to go before outgrowing these ones - the right foot has about 3mm, and

the left foot 1mm space at the edge of the shoe. It should last another month or

2. On the other hand, I don't want the shoes to fall apart, and have to wait 3

weeks for another pair. I contactd , and he didn't offer any

solutions, but said he would make another pair.

Any suggestions??

Thanks,
