the crying still there

[Guest guest]

Hello It's me Alba , is on his shoes again after having some

problems with the bar. We saw the doctor this week and I ask him about

the ' shoes and he told me that he was working with the Dennis

shoes for over 30 years and for him the 's were so much money

for the same result. I really didn't like his opinion because even that

is doing great he still complaining at nigth, it's every nitgh,

It wasn't like that at the beginig, we were doing fine but when we got

the second par of shoes because the other ones were small he started

with the complain , I thought it was the short bar but we got a new one

and the crying still there, the doctor already check his feet again and

as I said they were great. It's that ok or maybe is just him? your kids

complain too or they sleep without a problem? now that his geting older

(his 9 months old) his moving more and I don't know what to do. I really

want to know if the 's are worth to try, do I need the

prescripcion from my doctor to buy it or just need to send his foot

prints, does anyone know?. And about the sleep bag how does work?. I

aprecciate your help once again, Thank you. Alba from Long Island New

york.

Marcia--

That is very cool, and also the way Hanger works in our neck of the

woods. However, I have to put out a caution flag for others and

bring attention to what Carol mentioned~ Hanger marks the shoes up by

approx $1000!!!! We could have gone through our insurance to obtain

our s, but we would have only been able to get ONE pair this

year with our annual benefit. When we go out-of-network and pay out-

of-pocket, then file for reimbursement, we'll be able to get into 6+

pairs of shoes plus the bar in the same timeframe!!!

Just a little FYI.

When gets older and is more likely to stay in one pair of

shoes for close to the entire year, we might be using Hanger, but

until then it makes much more sense financially to go straight

through ! I say 'we might use' Hanger because their

practice of marking things up by something like 530% (charging around

$1400 for shoes that cost $132 each) for straight profit is

disgusting and is a big part of the reason our medical insurance

rates are so high.

Ok, I'm off my soapbox now.
