Re: just got shoes i think bar is two short

July 2, 2006

They measured my son like this one time also. The width between shoes should be

6 inches not the bar length. I would get a new bar as soon as you can, which I

know with the holiday might not happen, but you could try tomorrow, Monday. It

will make it so much more comfortable for him. In the mean time, as along as

his feet are corrected, try to keep the shoes on him if you can.

Hi Stan,

Wow, sounds like you have a bit of a mess on your hands. Sorry to hear that.

Who, I mean, what doctor is saying this bar is OK? That's just nuts, two inches

will be so uncomfortable and not help you any.

I'm not sure what you are asking me for - regarding the shoes. When

ordered, they come as a complete set: shoes and bar. There is nothing else you

need except socks, what ever sock fits comfortably on your child, nothing

special.

What do you mean only one foot was done? Does that mean he just had one club

foot? Either way, it's very crucial you have the right brace set up. Is the

clubbed foot turned out to 70 degrees? (or both feet at 70 if both feet are

clubbed)

On Wednesday you really need to get your hands on a longer bar, sooner if

possible. If you want to get the shoes you order them from
