Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Hi , (seven months now) had a funny second toe which kind of sits on top of her first toe and also sticks up some. I can send you a picture if you'd like to compare the two. 's was like this from birth so I know it was not caused by the casting or bracing. Carol squished toes My son, , has been in the Markells since January. He has a left club foot and the second toe on that foot sits above his big toe and third toe, it looks like his foot is being squeezed and forcing that second toe to sit on top. I was wondering if the shoes were contributing to it and possibly causing discomfort. He is in a size 0 medium and is still in his original shoe, but his toes are not all the way at the end. I went today to have him fitted for a bigger shoe, but the man at the shoe store says he needs a narrow to hold the back of his foot snuggly and the toe issue probably won't straighten out until he is out of the Markells for good. Does anyone here have any experience with something like this? I did look at pictures of his feet right after they came out of the tenotomy cast and his toe was like that then. Also, how many shoe sizes do you go up when you get new shoes? Thanks, 6-12-05 lcf FAB 16/7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 , This one is for Kori, she had this exact issue with Darbi, I'm sure she'll chime in here and tell you about it, but her solution was to switch to the Ponseti/ shoes as they have a much bigger toe box.
