Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I really was amazed at the difference in her comfort level in the s. She slept just fine, too. I am so glad to have found these shoes for since they will be such a big part of our lives for so long. They were worth every, non-reimbursable by insurance, out of network, need to meet our deductible penny! LOL Carol Our MItchell shoes came out of her casts and went into the shoes this evening. I was nervous after our bad experience with the Markells (crying and screaming and then a pressure sore), but she did not complain about the s one bit. They were easy for me to put on and seemed very comfortable for . They are more lightweight than the Markells and she can lift them easily, which helped a lot. We did have one issue in that there are not enough holes to make the strap on the foot part (near the toes) tight enough. I think I will go to a shoe repair shop and have them punch more holes rather than try to do it myself. Any thoughts? Currently, she is sleeping peacefully in the shoes with the strap by the toes not done. I will have it fixed tomorrow.
