Today, Elias went for a 6-monthly checkup to the orthopedist. After the last checkup, we decided to buy him regular shoes and see how his feet develop. It seems like that was the right decision. His support surface on his soles has increased, and on the right (the worst) foot, the only part that is still turning inwards is his big toe. So, ordinary shoes from now on. This is a great relief in two aspects. First and foremost, it means that the odds of Elias having trouble later on are getting smaller. Second, it means that he can have multiple pairs of shoes, we can buy a new pair when necessary, rather than having to wait a few weeks or a month, and he can wear shoes for any sport he would like to practice. Additionally, checkups are yearly from now on.
