Hey everyone, our lil man got his boots on two weeks ago. The first few days were a struggle, as they kept slipping (mammy not putting them on tight enough). However, im starting to wonder if im putting them on properly! although they are not slipping off much(maybe only once every 2/3 days) im not confident that his heel (on the bad foot) is down far enough into the boot!!! would this hav a massive impact on his overall progress or is it more important that the feet are actually facing out…See More

Mia Barry replied to Karen Duke's discussion HELP PLEASE!!boots keep falling off!!!!"Hi Karen!

It is hard at the beginning with the boots - especially if they keep falling off. You have probably not put them on tight…"
