My son is almost 7 months old. He has been in the brace since Nov. 2010. He wears the Mitchell / Ponseti brace and started in a size 0 shoe. At the beginning of Feb, our dr recommended we order a new, bigger size shoe since he was growing so fast. We agreed and he did the measurements and we ordered directly from the manufactur. They came within two days and we were very excited. Only to find out that the pressure saddles ( that we had to use with his old shoes) didnt fit properly with the tongue in his new shoes. No, I dont want to cut it out of the shoe. They are wayyyyy too big for him. And that was after i talked the manufactur into sending me a size smaller than he measured into . ( I thought they would be huge if he jumped 3 sizes!!) And i luckily had a pair of shoes that another mama had sent me and they were a size 3 and they were way too big. . after muliple rubbing sores and a hour of screaming each night while i tried to get the new shoes to stay on, I went back to wearing his old shoes which fit great. I guess my question is . Is there anything that can come from wearing shoes that are a little too small?? His toes are starting to hang over the edge but his foot still fits fine in the shoe. The straps hold his foot in and his heel in the shoe perfectly . We live 3 hours away from our dr and we decided with his help that it would be OK to order the shoes and have them sent to our house without him checking them . We definately wont do that again. We will coordinate appts with new shoes!!! But I just dont want him to regress until our appt in May! Any advise is greatly appreciated!!!
We put his smaller shoes on him for a month and then we tried the new bigger shoes and his foot had grown quite a bit in that time. The show is still too wide but the length is ok. I was concerned with wearing his old shoes too much longer because he was curling his toes around the front of the shoe and he started having his toes stay like that when we was out of the brace too. His toes were starting to get a little stiff and he had an ingrown toenail. We put him in the bigger shoes and cut his socks and his toe nail got better so we continued to use them. They are not as stiff anymore and they seem to work ok. I am just not looking forward to doing that all over again when we order shoes the next time . Im glad we fixed it for a while though 🙂
