How many hours a day-really?

[Guest guest]

Hello, I'm new to this group. I had emailed the distributor of the

Markell shoes complaining of the difficulty we had in keeping them

on our son and they recommended I check out this group. They also

sent me instructions on how to properly use the shoes, something

neither the orthopedic surgeon nor the orthotics clinic bothered to

do. The surgeon said he needed to be in the shoes 24/7, but we're

having a tough time sticking to it. Multiple reasons - the baby

kicks them off, his feet get sweaty, the way the shoes are attached

to the bar(they used wingnuts with bolts coming out that poke us

instead of the shoe platform), and it's hard for my husband to tie

the little laces.

Anyone else willing to fess up that they don't keep the poor things

strapped in 24/7?
