Tip-toe walking at 12 after failed serial casting, what next?

My DD is still tip-toe walking at 12 years old, and serial castings have failed (twice). Anyone have any tips on what to do next? I feel like the surgery is too invasive, and we want to try other things first.

Her feet are shaped differently and her Achilles tendons are shorter from a lifetime of walking, and it seems like a difficult thing to change.

Has anyone managed to change this or will she just stick on a pair of high heels and accept her foot shape forever?
