Yes, we dealt with sweaty feet.....though it was during the summer!

Change the socks frequently. Check with your doctor as to what

powders/products are safe to use to treat/prevent fungus. Wash the

feet with anti-fungal/anti-bacterial soap if necessary.

Maybe we need to talk to Jay (Markell) about putting some side

vents/air holes in the shoes as well. =)

If mold forms in the shoe, I used a Q-tip dipped in bleach or

alcohol and swabbed in the crevices to clean it out----then took a

hair dryer to get it dry quickly. :)

Good luck getting the new smaller shoe quickly!

I don't know how she manages to get sweaty feet in the

winter in New England, but there you have it. I hope

the open heel Markells will help air out her shoes so

her feet don't sweat as much. I'll keep changing the

socks, and the nurse said to try corn starch on her

feet to absorb the moisture. I don't think she had

seen such a sweaty foot problem before, so if the corn

starch doesn't work, we'll have to come up with plan

B. Thanks for the advice.

Hi Michele,

Corn starch works great! Will clear up almost any rash too btw, I

know it seems strange to put it on a dry itchy rash but it works

wonders!

Hope it works for Maddie and that you can get the shoe size issue

solved quickly! Hopefully her right foot catches up to her left as

she grows.

GREAT idea about the venting in the side of the shoes !! Will

you post a suggestion for Jay or send him and e-mail?

& Grace
