Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Okay, we have had mostly smooth sailing since you all helped me get Isaac's FAB problems worked out(needing smaller size, changing bar position, etc). He is starting his week 6 right now, and has started slipping out of his non club foot shoe. It has been fine until now, and is the right size still per the Markell sizing chart. I have tightened as tight as I can. Any ideas? Can I call a local orthotist company and order/buy platizote for a heel counter or do I have to get a RX and go back to the doc? Also, the one night I did not put the shoes on(not really sure if that was the problem but that was when it first showed up), his clubfoot got 2 dark red spots. One right above the pinky toe and one b/w his last 2 toes. They are getting darker by the day. His clubfoot is not slipping out except the rare occassion that he unties the shoes and removes the laces halfway(grr)- hasn't happened lately. His foot has very obviously grown and lengthened, so it must be the front top of the shoe bothering him now that his foot is longer, vs a month ago when his foot was still too short to come up that far. The shoe tongue already has the padding on it, and I ran my fingers in to make sure his toes were positioned correctly and that the leather wasn't pinching there. The marks look like marks if u wear jeans too tight...but they don't go away. I will try to take a pic tonight,as we are leaving the house right now, but any ideas??
