However, I can say that when they say they talk about these things, they really do. I wish I could push it through for you myself, but I don't actually work there. Thank you for pushing for this...I know it's more exhausting than can possibly be communicated.

We also tried them with lifts at the orthotist last week, and they fit (even if we didn't end up getting the desired heel strike). Just don't order them from Shoekid. I was extremely unimpressed with their customer service. One of our local Kiddie Kobblers carries them.

Here's what we've used that's worked for our son: Converse (with the insole ripped out and a lot of AFO wrestling), Go Plae (they're not all flimsy, and they last) and my top choice, which is a very expensive Italian shoe called Easy Up, which is amazing and the closest thing to a custom shoe that I've seen...<br />http://www.easyup-shoes.com<br /><br />Good luck! :) carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12644601822740375386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447392662850613354.post-37042812862127046922017-08-19T00:34:39.673-04:002017-08-19T00:34:39.673-04:00Does Zappos ship to Canada?

When I need shoes, I sometimes order 6 pairs, just to try them on.Paulanoreply@blogger.com
