[quote=Anonymous]So sorry to come into this thread late. Our oldest DD walked pigeon-toed when she first started walking. Someone might have already mentioned this, but the pediatric orthopedist recommended “straight last shoes”. Normal shoes curve slightly at the toes toward the inside of your leg. These shoes are straight at the toes, not curved. So they help train the toes to point forward more when walking without a huge correction like the night braces or bar. It’s a more gentle PT treatment. She wore the straight last shoes (sneaker version) until she was ready for the next size up. I can’t remember now since she’s 17, but we went through either one size or 2. And it worked without damaging night treatments. [/quote]
