Nope, I was pigeon toed until 16, i'm
still a little bit pigeon-toed. Maybe
it's "ethnic"?

I know a few bow leged kids, even if it
doesnt completly go away, chances are it
will lessen up, and even if it doesnt for
some reason its not that bad, once they
learn to walk its fine (it may be a little
tougher to learn though) most people dont
even notice it though
ooo, I have the weirdest feet, im not
actualy pidgon toed but when I walk I walk
with my ankles turned outward so my feet
look like \ / they point away from each
other, but when I run they go the opposite
way and go / \ and I walk on the outside
of my feet
i was supose to have braces on my feet
because of it but the doc at the time
never told my mum, I only found out after
it was too late to help
i fall on my face all the time when I run
because of it

Thanks a lot ladies!!
Is pigeon toed & clubbed feet about
the same thing? My youngest brother was
born with "clubbed feet" & his feet
pointed in so bad that he had to have 2
operations

No pigeon-toed is not the same as a club
foot.
In a normal alignment the feet point
forwards.
In pigeon-toe the toes point inwards
(towards the opposite foot) and the heels
turn out wards slightly (not as much as
the toes point in).
Some people have poor alignment in the leg
(walking more on the outside of the foot
is common) some walk on the insides.
Ideally you should walk evenly on the flat
of your feet.
Club foot (pics say a thousand words)

yeah I know  it's sad that
babies are born like that. My baby
brother had a really bad case of it. They
had to operate when he was 8 months old I
think & they actually had to "make"
him an ankle because his feet were so bad
he had no ankles... He was in casts for a
while...It was so sad.

I'm just so grateful that my little

How terrible for a child...

I was so happy when .Kaylee was born &
her feet were like they should be. I was
worried about that thru my whole pregnancy
because it's pretty common in my family

brother was born with cerebral palsy and I
remember him with casts on his legs and
then braces on his feet...

It's things like that that make me so
thankful that .Jenny's only "deformity"
was an extra thumb and nothing more
severe.. It could have been something
much much worse.
Poor babies

This is a good thread!
Nice wording .Kia!!
K, it probably is. But hell, I don't
know! Lol!
My feet are severly pigeoned. When I was
little, the braces were put on my legs.
It didn't help. So the Dr. Said that he
would have to break my ankles in order to
fix it. And my mom wasn't having that!!
I'm also flat footed(extreemly painful at
times)!
Being pigeon toed and flat footed never
stopped me from running track though.
That was my sport! Whooo weee!! 800m and
shot put. Holla at cha girl!!
People flipped when they say me walking
without my track shoes on!!! I have feet
like .Daffy .Duck...Just not webbed!
