Thanks to everyone who was so supportive last time I posted on this! DS2 now has a raise on his shoe (to help him with his legs of differing lengths) and at 3 1/4 can now jump! Running is still a bit of a gallop but the shoes have made so much of a difference.
I've been told though that he can only have 3 pairs a year. This doesn't give much room for foot growth and I'm concerned that he can't have different types of shoes to suit him.
So far he's had a pair of boots which we finally got back from the hospital after 4 weeks in October. He's grown a whole size since then and we've just sent off a second pair of winter shoes to have the raise put on.
What happens about sandals for the summer I don't know. Do any of you? I usually buy open toe ones to avoid the growth issue too much but can they put a raise on these?
The other problem is that in wellies his walking is pretty laboured. He can't easily enjoy a walk in the rain to splash in the puddles so are there any tricks I can use there?
I haven't even thought about a pair of trainers though I really could do with some. He's constantly having accidents (toilet training) and his boots get wet (even on the inside). I have no option but to put him in dry socks in wet shoes sometimes. Again, any suggestions?
I feel such a newbie at this
