Guest guest Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 ok then... I bet the new ones are different than the old ones. It used to be that they were 10 degrees off. So the P/M's were being set at 60. But I'm absolutely positive these new ones (in the VERY large size - Darbi's wearing size 6's in regular shoes) are set at 70 degrees as was her old brace with MArkell shoes. Maybe since her feet are smaller he's still using the older equipment that needed to be set differently? I think you'll have to ask to be sure but then again... if they came set at 60, and it matches her old brace set at 70... that could answer the question for you.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 oh, me bad... I didn't read that correctly. I'd just make sure to set it so it matches her old brace, whatever that is. At least, that's what we did. She had to wear her old shoes last night because Grandma forgot to bring her new ones back with the children last night. Woke up with that red mark on the tops of her feet and also woke in the middle of the night saying ow about her shoes. It's nice to have a backup... but I do prefer the new ones now. Even if they take longer to put on! We've been having problems with the tongue on one shoe slipping out of the top strap by the morning most the time. How about you? It still irritates me to put them on, the tongue bunches up as I cinch them... I can get them flat with some effort to smooth them out after they're buckled, but it's a PITA if you ask me.
