   Heya!
   I'm 26 years old and was born with a club foot.  I'm pretty lucky as my feet are only 1 size different and shoes aren't too much of a problem...as long as I stay away from the cute ones
   
   I've been looking into Vibram 5 finger shoes  ( http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/produc ... otwear.cfm. ) I'm wondering if anyone else has tried them and if they noticed any improvement in their club foot?  Or if anyone knows of any websites where people like us can meet others with the same size shoes but opposite feet?
   
   Thanks!!

   I think they sound great- but I wonder if I can buy two different sizes (only my left foot is club). I checked the FAQ but it didn't say. I'd love to have these- I hurt MUCH less when I'm barefoot- and I love these because of they let me be basically barefoot with protection

   I also was born with bilateral club feet.  I have found a store in portland oregon that sells shoes for all kind of foot sizes and shapes. its jays wide shoes @ http://www.jayswideshoes.com  I love this store. My orthopedic surgeon recommended new balance brand shoes which is sold in wider widths

   I have a pair. Have had them for about 6 mo now. They are amazing. Improved strength, endurance, and balance. Just be VERY slow when you start wearing them, go a few hours at a time and try to stay off concrete when exercising for the first few weeks.

   Does anyone have a problem with insurance companies covering orthopedic shoes or othotics. Please share your issues in this regards. It seems several insurance companies do not cover orthotics for people with club feet.
