time comes. Claire is going to have separation anxiety, LOL!!

Daiga,

Thanks for the info, I think the other style number might be closed toe

boots? It's difficult to know for sure because we don't hear anything

from Markell about the bigger sizes availability in open toe shoes. The

local orthotist is very frustrated. He told me that he orders bigger

shoes with every shipment from Markell, but they never arrive. is

the oldest 'Ponseti child' in SA, but there are many more children now

that will need bigger shoes too sometime.

I think I'll email Iowa and ask about availability. If necessary I'll

have to buy them from there and have them shipped out to South Africa!

Email Jay at info@.... He also reads the list so maybe he'll

see this thread too. He'll be able to tell you the availability of the

larger sizes better than Iowa since he's in charge out there in Yonkers,

NY. Have you taken your trip to the states yet? I remember something

about you asking about NYC right? If you haven't, and it's

soon... Yonkers (where Markell is) is a suburb of NYC close in to

Manhattan... Maybe you could pick your new shoes up at the factory? :~}

(who'se only experience with Yonkers is passing over it on the train in '88

but I loved the name so I remember it well lol!)

Kori,

Thanks, I'll email him and post any reply I get here.

No we're not planning a trip right now, but we know NYC well because

friends of ours stayed there for 6 years. I've also been through

Yonkers, because they lived in White Plains which is nearby! Wasn't

there a movie called 'Lost in Yonkers'?! Talking about names, what

about Hackensack and Nyack which aren't too far from Yonkers!

would you believe there's a town called " Boring " about 5 miles from

me? And I'm in the big city here lol!

Kori

(and yes, it's kinda boring there... but what small suburb isn't as

compared to the city?)

,

Thank you, I have forwarded this different style number to the orthotist

in case he's been ordering the bigger sizes on the other number. I

wonder why they're different if they're the same shoe only bigger? Yes,

I was thinking of using US orthotics in Iowa as you suggested. Only

thing is they can only mail in the US, so I'll have to have it couriered

to us by a friend. It's definitely easier and cheaper if they are

available directly from our local supplier. With him being the oldest

South African Ponseti patient we're kind of the pioneers in everything,

if we can sort out the shoe problem here, then everyone else can get

them locally too. It's a couple of months before will need bigger

shoes so I'm hoping the problem is sorted out before that!

Take care

Re: Markell bigger sizes

I just looked at Claire's Markell shoe boxes.. The size 7s and 8s are

style number 2644, which is a different number (I hadn't noticed that

before.) But the style is the same.. open toe, straight last, strap,

padded heel, etc.. just like the smaller sizes. I can't see a

difference.

, you could probably order them through American Prosthetics and

Orthotics at the Hospital in Iowa, couldn't you? Since was a

patient there? That's how I've always gotten the shoes.. either picking

them up when I'm there, or by ordering over the phone with a credit

card, and they mail them to me.

As Everett hits the home stretch to his 2nd birthday I hear my dh tell people

Evy can stop wearing it when he's 3 and I always butt in to say, well, maybe 4.

MY goal is the full four years and I know if dr. Ponseti says 4 years, shoot if

he said 6 years my dh would comply - but if the dr. doesn't recommend it I fear

having dh resistance at the 3 year mark.
