How do I put the boots on?Boots should always be worn with socks. Sometimes special Ponseti socks are needed in cases where theskin is sensitive. These have two layers and some extra grip on the sole.1. Place the heel firmly into the back and the bottom of the boot.2. While holding the heel in place, fasten the straps or laces firmly over the ankle. Be sure to keeppadding/tongues in position.3. Fasten the toe and shin straps (Mitchell/Alpha/Tiebax)4. Check that the heel is well down inside the boot by sighting the position through the viewing portsin the heels of the boots.5. Attach the boots to the bar (Mitchell/Alpha/Tiebax)And away you go!Heel right down inside the boot is critical!If the heel is not held down sufficiently, the Achilles tendon may re-tighten, requiring further plastering.Seeing the toes disappearing backwards into the boot is a sure sign the heel is lifting out of the boot. If thisoccurs reapply the boot. If it is happening continuously, please make an appointment to see the Orthotistfor a solution.Will My Child Be Comfortable in the Boots?Your child will most likely be upset when they first have the boots fitted. This is not because they are inpain. It is because it is frustrating for your child to have both feet joined together in the bar. Babies willquickly get used to the brace and life will go back to normal.Young children are generally very tolerant of the Boots and Bar, once they are used to them. Tolerance cansometimes wane in the last year or so of treatment. There are solutions to tolerance issues which maymean changing the set-up or design of brace.If you notice your child is more upset than usual, check that the boots are fitted correctly and that they arenot pulling out of the boots. Always keep a check on your child’s skin. Rubbing or blisters indicate thatboots are not fitting correctly and your child will need to be seen by your Orthotist to find a solution to theproblem.‘Melbourne’s most experienced Paediatric Orthotists’Main Consulting Rooms: 18 Stirling Crescent, Surrey Hills.
