Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Personally, I don't think they're any *easier* to do than the Markells. When we switched, I thought, " wow, these sure are a PITA as compared to the Markells " which by that time I could put on in my sleep. Getting the tongue properly positioned, the straps all flat and not bunched as I tightened them... blah... it's work putting these on. I still don't think the process is easier, just different. I am much better at it now though and I still like them but I can't really say they're easier. The marks you describe are common with the new style Markells, the tongue padding is a bit too little and that mark on the top of the foot pretty much par for the course. The mark typically isn't a problem, but it doesn't go away either. Darbi had that mark for a long time, once her ped. commented on it. It got better, I was able to loosen the strap on them after tightening the laces really well and that helped but it still never went away till we got the PM's. It never bothered her but I do like that her feet don't show it anymore. Kori At 07:38 PM 2/15/2006, you wrote: >Thanks! > >I hate to admit this, but I sort of hope we have to get them.
