Today we went to get the orthotics and a shoe lift. Eva was as happy as can be playing with the "new toys" in the room. She was fitted with her custom orthotics. They are white in color. They are hard plastic. They cover the arc of her foot, top and bottom, her heel is placed into it and it goes over her ankles. They are tightened by two velcro straps. After they were placed on both feet, we then put her shoes on. Her feet are much wider with the orthotics but the shoes she has are very flexible and can expand also by a velcro strap. They are to be cleaned by damp washcloth with bleach as needed. They fit nice. He said we were set to go but I reminded him of the shoe lift. He took the shoe and stated that he was going to see how high it was going to be. When he returned about fifteen minutes later, the left shoe is now a platform with an additional one inch foam sole.
