Tennis shoes on the DBB

[Guest guest]

HI guys,

Am having a nightmare getting my son's Markell shoes to fit.

After two weeks (out of casts) and one week trying to get the

Markell's to fit, after 5 consecutive trips to the orthotist....I've

given up. These shoes are just not going to work at this point in

time. My son's club foot was corrected via Ponseti method and with

a tenotamy. He is 10 weeks old, well, almost 11 weeks old. He is

already having a relapse because no one can keep the shoes on him,

not even the orthotist, or the specialist.....so my question to all

of you is......Have ya'll seen the files section where someone glued

tennis shoes to the DBB? THAT is awesome. Shucks, I'm willing to

give anything a try at this point. I've posted to you guys about

the shoes, and have gotten a great response from parents

who have put their children in them...I'm really considering those.

I'm concerned though in the 2 week lapse of not being in a cast

(when my son comes out of them again) and waiting for the shoes to

arrive that he'll have yet another relapse. Also, does ins. pay for

shoes if the Markell's do not work? I just don't even want

to mess ANYMORE with the Markells. THinking of having a bonfire

tonight with them.
