DD,s legs getting worse

[jenk1]

DD was at orthotics today, DH took her and said that the orthotics guy said her legs and getting more floppy and so are her arms.

We had been thinking she was doing ok, but last night i noticed she was struggling to get up a step that she had no trouble before but i just thought she was tired.
anyway he told DH that she needs extra help and he has ordered her more shoes but he said they are longer up her ankle and DH doesnt know what they are. (oh why didnt i go with him?) he also said her feet need more stability and these boots are longer than the piedros.

I hve had a look on the net but cant see anything, i know there are a few mums of children with piedros and hoped someone would be able to tell me what sort of shoe/boot this is.

TIA

Perhaps it isn't longer boots, but an insert to fit in the boots and extend up beyond them, to provide support higher up the leg?
