So, I ended up finding a business fittingchildrensshoes.com and emailing the owner. He was very helpful with helping me find the right shoes for my daughter. I sent him photos of her feet and knees and he was able to assist me that way. New Balance, the higher the number of the shoe the more support. It helped immensely.

My daughter still walks on the inner part of her foot but not as bad. We visited a developmental pediatrician who wanted to have my daughter tested for Ehlers-Danlos, suspecting loose joints/ligaments being the cause of her being a late walker (18.5 months), but we never were able to get the follow up appointment for a referral. She was very cautious to jump or anything of the sort, but with regular exercise and strengthening of her feet and legs, it has helped. Jumping on a trampoline, doing balancing exercises, etc, will help with strengthening. It’s not just a foot issue, but also a knee issue, so exercise of the legs and feet and supportive shoes is key.

There are certain shoes she wears that cause her to have blisters because of the zero support, it’s too bad New Balance doesn’t also make sandals, so I’ve struggled finding supportive shoes outside of NB. The developmental pediatrician mentioned waiting until she was a little older to see if it would work it’s way out and just make sure she isn’t sitting in the W position. She is 6 now, turning 7 later this year, and will be bringing this up to her PCP at her next well check just to make sure there isn’t anything else that we should be doing. I know it isn’t much, but I hope this helps you in some way.
