I received a call from a woman whose 6 year old granddaughter has a club foot which was treated at birth with Poinseti method as well as two Achilles surgeries. She is very active, plays soccer,etc. Her concern now is the 2 size difference in the footwear. Toe fillers have been made and split pairs of shoes have been used but the child is now aware of the smaller size shoe so going forward I wondered what options people were using including a comfortable design of toe filler that could be expanded with growth.
Thank you for any responses you may have.
