problem with hips causing DS to walk pigeon toed

My DS is walking slightly pigeon toed. We've seen a consultant and and podiatrist and a physiotherapist. The issue is due to him being a breech baby and his hips slightly tipping inwards, which I've been assured will likely improve as he grows and develops.

The advise from the experts is quite conflicting in terms of what footwear to put him in, he's four this Sunday and starting school in September. The school have agreed to let him wear boots which is not school uniform policy. I'm looking at Bobux Aspen, desert, outback and basketball boot. The physiotherapist suggested Dr Martins or Kickers but the consultant said to avoid anything too heavy! Any words of wisdom or suggestions on school footwear, is very gratefully received! Thanks in advance! xx

They sit on the floor alot, would boots not be very uncomfortable?

My dd has orthotics inserts in her regular school shoes as she really underpronates. Works really well for us.
