Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 length of bar? Is his non CF distinctly narrower than the CF? Maybe he needs a narrow (N) on the one foot and the medium on the CF? Try dorsiflexing his foot like you do the CF when you put the shoe on, and maybe put the strap in the lower slots if it's in the upper ones. If you can get it snugger on his foot (any holes tighter) maybe that'll help? Kori At 08:59 PM 3/7/2005, you wrote: >Hi there, >My son is currently in the DBB 23/7, and is 51/2 months old.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Thanks Kori. I don't know length of bar. It is the little gold one.. his first one and he got it when he was about 4 months old. Yes, his non-cf foot is narrower, I hadn't thought of that and never knew you could get narrow, medium, etc. Thanks so much for the tip! _____ From: frogabog Sent: Monday, March 07, 2005 10:16 PM To: nosurgery4clubfoot Subject: Re: Kicking out of shoes length of bar?
