[quote=Anonymous]Hi, I am a 41 yr old who got braces when little for pigeon toes.  I remember them vividly and they were very painful.  Throughout my adult life I've had to deal with pain radiating from my right hip down my leg to my foot.  I can aleviate it if I stand and walk with my toes slightly inward. I believe the brace treatment screwed up my leg. Im a runner and for me to run pain free I have to run pigeontoed.  The problem is that the treatment done as alittle girl rewired my brain to thinking that pigeon toed is bad and the ballet positioning of toes outward s good. (I was made to take ballet because of this.)  I've had to work hard on rewiring my brain to walk with my toes inward a little but if Im not vigilant I will automatically correct my feet and turn them outward despite the fact that its uncomfortable for me.  I wish my parents would not have made me use the braces.  I hope this helps in making your decision.  If your child is happy and healthy what does it matter if she walks with her toes inward?[/quote]
