in hard flat souls isn't natural.

I'm sure others have suggested good shoes for when you're out in public.

Why doesn't she get PT? I would ask your coordinator to get an

evaluation

for her to see if she needs them. If not, that's great but then if she does

need them they can get them for you.

My PT was entitled to a FREE pair and she got them for my youngest

daughter.

They are so little and cute. She will be getting new ones within the next

couple of months as she is outgrowing them.

Hi all it is official Isabella is walking. Today she walked across the

room.

She took at least 10 steps without holding on. Now here is my question what

kind of shoes should I get her? She has a lot of cute little shoes but I

guess it is time for walking shoes. Should I get her tennis shoes or those

baby

white shoes? Also any certain brands?

Does she have any braces or inserts? We get DCs or Striderites because of the

inserts we have for my daughters. Make sure there is a good arch and that the

shoe is wide and not narrow. I've had my therapist go out shopping for shoes

with me and one of my therapist one weekend was shopping and picked up 4

different pairs of shoes. I chose the pair I wanted and she returned the others.

I love my therapists that go out of their way to help our children.

I agree with Donna - I also had foot surgery in 2005 - and have Flat feet

(inherited from my mom - which I then passed to my daughter along with her

stubborness) and New Balance is the only thing I wear - except when I have

to dress up for work and church ;-) They are the only brand to really

support the arches - they even have an extra set of holes across the arch so

when you lace them up you can feel them pulling up your arch.
