My six-year old has ataxic cerebral palsy, and I have been looking into getting him some different shoes. He currently wears braces that go almost to his knees. I was wondering if you also wear braces, or if you just rely on your walker for support. He has a walker as well, and he seems more comfortable without the braces. I'm not asking medical advice, I plan to discuss this with his OT and his orthotist, just wondering if you wear braces and if you feel the shoes made you feel more stable or comfortable.

I do remember I wore them in kindergarten.I may have worn them from time to time is first grade, but I don't remember. After the braces I wore orthodic inserts. I wore those until my mid teen years. Since then, I haven't worn any braces or inserts.<br><br>As for your six-year old son wearing Five Fingers, I'd say sure, give it a try. If your son likes being barefoot, he'll probably like the shoes. I'm glad you're going to ask your doctor first, that's always a good thing. :) For me the Five Fingers do make me feel more stable. They provide no support, but it makes your toes spread apart which gives you more surface area to walk on. Normal shoes leave your toes squished in the toes. These shoes allow you to use all of your toes for balance.<br><br>Thanks for stopping by, and let me know what happens.terriedomingueznoreply@blogger.com
