How My 9-year-old's Toe Walking Significantly Improved
A prominent toe walking specialist and after a telehealth exam [...] concluded that surgery was likely the only option. My son wore these Antepes shoes all day every day for three weeks (and we did zero stretching with equinus braces). We have a vertical jump tester and his vertical went up pretty dramatically in those three weeks. After another day of setting a new jump record, about three weeks since wearing the shoes every day, we tested shin angle again. This time, the improvement was incredible. He went from 24 to 32 degree on his right and from 31 to 39 degrees of his left. It was exactly 8 degrees of improvement on both ankles. IMO It is definitely worth a try as that is what worked for us. (And surgery was completely avoided)
