Hi,
I have a 19 month old boy who was quite a late walker having only started walking at 15 months. I have recently noticed that he seems to walk on the insides of his feet with his ankles turned in. I thought at first this was due to the fact that he was a heavy baby when he started to walk and that he'd need time to strengthen his muscles. He has quite good balance and runs in a bit of a trot but I just wondered if anyone else out there has had the same thing with their kids? I know I'll probably have to go and take him to see an Orthotist soon who will probably recommend corrective footware (from what I've been told from friends) If anyone else out there has a similar story, would love to hear from you.
