Where have you found good shoes?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

At our last visit, Dr. Ponseti said he wanted Devlin to wear shoes for

about 6 hours a day as she's standing, cruising, etc. and will start

walking anytime soon (we hope).

I was wondering if any of you have found good sources for shoes for

our babies. I don't know if this is true for all CF babies, but

Devlin's feet are very short and chubby/wide. We bought a pair of

shoes for her at the Stride Right store in Iowa City---the saleswoman

had twins with CF and sees Dr. Dietz! However, they are pretty

expensive there and I'm really having trouble getting the shoes on her.

Have any of you had luck elsewhere? Devlin's feet are pretty much the

same size so at least I don't have that problem to deal with (like I

know so many of the unilateral parents do)...

Thanks,

Mommy to Devlin, 1/7/04
