My little clubfoot warrior just got her first proper shoes and I am CRYING 😭💙 She's 15 months and pulling herself up on everything.
When did your clubfoot babies start walking? The health visitor keeps making comments about her "being behind" and it's getting to me.

CONGRATULATIONS!! 🎉🎉 Such a huge milestone!
Our clubfoot baby walked at 16 months. Health visitor made similar comments - so frustrating. Clubfoot babies often walk slightly later due to bracing but catch up quickly.
Clarks were really knowledgeable about clubfoot! Start Rite also do great first shoes 💙🦶

My son walked at 18 months. He's now 3 and runs like the wind. You literally cannot tell which was the clubfoot.
Clarks Cruisers were brilliant. Also liked Bobux. Ignore anyone saying she's "behind" - she's on her own timeline and doing brilliantly 💙

15 months and pulling to stand is completely within normal limits. Average walking age is 12 months but RANGE is 9-18 months. Your health visitor should know this 😤
Flexible sole with good ankle support. Get professionally fitted for any size difference between feet. Well done little one! 🎉
