Feet Issues Continue!

I don't know if you recall but last year around April, I decided to take Sadie into my foot doctor to have him check her toes out. I was concerned about that and the curvature of her lower leg. Well the past few weeks I've noticed while watching Sadie walk that she is walking on the inside of her feet, and the curvature hasn't gone away. So today I had a follow up appointment on my new orthodics so I took Sadie in with me.

Well come to find out the curve I guess is normal for babies, but we will have to keep an eye on it to make sure that we don't have to put her in braces to train it straight. But the biggest news was I was 100% correct on her walking. She is walking on the inside of her foot. It's calle over pronating. (spelling?) Travis will have more information on it as he is the foot specialist in the family. I also found out that we have her in the wrong shoes. She has to have a more supportive shoe. The shoes she is wearing right now have little to no support. It could be compared to a moccasin. So now we have to find her a more supportive shoe. And she is also going to have orthodics in her shoes as well. They have been ordered today.

The problem is, Sadie's feet are fat on top which makes finding shoes a little more difficult. So I asked my doctor and he suggested Stride rite shoes. Which is what I had in mind to begin with but I wanted to make sure that was what he suggested. They are really good shoes and have a variety of widths that will be able to accommodate her little flinstone feet. So I did some research this morning and YIKES they are spendy but what can you do? Fortunately for us the local store is having a side walk sale starting tomorrow so hopefully we might be able to get some on sale. Keep your fingers crossed. $45 a pair is a little over budget. I don't even spend that much on my shoes (which could be part of my feet problem.)

So for all those who are coupon/sale savvy if you hear of a sale on Stride rite shoes, please let me know. We measured her out and she is between a 5 and a 5.5. So the doctor suggested getting the 5.5 so she would have room to grow.
