Toe walking

I have noticed that when my 4 year old ds has bare feet, he walks only on his toes. Also sometimes when he is walking he turns one of his feet the opposite way and walks with one foot forwards and the other at the side. I always thought that he does it because it feels funny to him but DH is worried about it. Otherwise he is a very active young boy who enjoys his bike and running around outside very much.

When ds was born, one of his feet was turned the wrong way (he was a breech baby and his foot had got stuck). We had a couple of months physio for this and he got the all clear.

Not sure if this has anything to do with it or not. Do you think this is cause for concern?

Thanks

I'm not sure what the medical profession think of toe-walking but I still do it when I'm not thinking. It doesn't cause me any problems. I have a two year old and he does it too.
