My daughter was born with slight talapiese in both her feet . Although reffered to a specialist she was Treated with massage to stretch her ligaments. She has always worn boots proffesionally fitted as She couldn t walk properly in shoes.,,,,, however once she started school we bought her shoes so she fitted in. She is 6 now and has been wearing Shoes for a year measured frequently but her toes have all bent inwards and She says walking in shoes hurts her feet? I ve had her shoes and foot size and width checked in 3 different shops who say her shoes are fitted correctly.... What should I do?

From the history given by you, I can only think of " Ill fitting Shoes" which has caused the ?Hammer toe. Shoes with extra broad Toe area (Front Portion) can help to recover the toes in course of time. Massage and stretching the toes straight may be also carried out.............................................
