Question

I have an 8yr old whose left foot is a whole size bigger than the right. What can be done about this?

Answer 1

I have the same problem as an adult.  Just buy two different sized shoes, it's really not that big of a deal.  No one even notices unless I tell them and they have to really look at it.  He still has over 10 years of growing to do, as well, they may just even out!

Answer 2

buy two pairs of shoes.

seriously.  foot binding?! what's so horrible about having different size feet that would make it worthwhile to subject your kid to pain over it?

Answer 3

foot binding. a term used when a person wraps one or both feet to discontinue the growth. Just wrap the left one tightly. but remember, I has t be broken forst. PLEASE DONT TRY AT HOME!!! ASK YOUR DOCTOR!!!!!

Answer 4

since your name is china, I am assuming you know about chinese foot binding, so you might be considering that,  but it could leave your child unable to do anything for the rest of her life that involves fast walking

Answer 5

Nothing.

Feet are not a matched set.  They grow at their individual rates.  Just make sure each shoe fits well.

Answer 6

the best thing you can do is just deal with it. jus buy 2 different shoe sizes its not that big of a deal. he/she is fine i promise.:)

Answer 7

There are on line shoe stores that sell 2 different sized shoes.  It's not an uncommon situation.

I guess you could buy both shoes in the larger size and stuff the toe of the shoe for the smaller foot.
