Step by step guide to School Shoes

Posted: 29 Aug 2010

This week, I am off to buy my four-year-old daughter Dorothy her first pair of school shoes. It should be a special occasion but, to be honest, I am daunted. My other two - Arthur, who is seven, and Lucy-Mary, eight - have both grown out of last year's, so they'll need new pairs, too. As a foot specialist, I know that correctly fitting shoes are essential for children's feet to grow properly. The wrong shoes can cause painful problems later and I regularly see patients with corns, calluses and hammer toes, mostly caused by wearing the wrong shoes as children.

Day 6 post-op Hypocure

Posted: 22 Feb 2009

Day 6 post op the Hyprocure TM by Dr Graham and a whole new world of a non wobbly - albeit asymmetric- foot is opening up.
It will be 4 weeks before I can safely (ish) assume that fibrous adhesions have formed sufficiently to be less nervous of it, but so far so good. No pain. Able to walk up and down stairs and did a Mum stint around Asda, as you do, with a wrapped up foot and a sock on as unable
to put on a shoe that we (me , myself and I ) agree on.
The most difficult thing is what to wear. All old shoes are out, no need for orthotics and new shoes yet to be bought or worked out! Still too early for heels.

It may be wellies yet. Hunter of course.

My flatfoot correction

Posted: 17 Feb 2009

I am officially the new owner of a new foot! My Supplefoot has a stent in place and I have a non wobbly, arched foot. The longterm problems of hyperpronation are resolved and I am delighted.

The operation was yesterday and I am in no pain. The surgery was fine, done under local anaesthesiae with barely any pain and my sub talar arthroeresis went well.
The implant used to transform my foot is the Hyprocure TM and we have amazing before and immediately after xray pictures.
The surprising find from the motion analysis tests was a rigid beam of a 4th metatarsal that has supported my feet despite all the flexibility around it......
