UPDATE: I am happy to report that I have been contacted by a family that can use the shoes, so they are no longer available.
As most of my readers already know, our daughter Kara has a corrected clubbed foot. Although the foot is straight, it will always be smaller than her “normal” foot, and this is quite a common result of unilateral clubbed foot. In her case, there is a large size differential, and we have to buy her two pairs of shoes every time she needs new shoes: a larger size for her “normal” foot and a smaller size for her clubbed foot. We don’t mind doing this–it’s really not that big of a deal. There is only one problem, though. We end up with these left-over shoes that are the opposite of what she needs. I would absolutely LOVE to find someone who could use these shoes. In fact, I would happily send them to anyone that needs them for the shipping charge only. They are all brand new. Here are the pairs and sizes that I currently have:
This pair of shoes are white and purple Danskins. The left shoe is a girl’s size 10, and the right shoe is a girl’s size 7.
These are white and pink Smart Fit shoes from Payless. The tags say that they were originally $12.99 per pair. The left shoe is a girl’s size 9, and the right shoe is a girl’s size 6 1/2.
This third pair of shoes are white sneakers with a cute multi-colored star pattern. They are made by Air Walk. Their tags say that they were $17.99 per pair. The left shoe is a girl’s size 10, and the right shoe is a girl’s size 7.
This last pair of shoes are pink canvas sneakers that are marked $6 per pair. The brand is Kid Connections. The left shoe is a girl’s size 9, and the right shoe is a girl’s size 6 1/2.
Again, these are brand new shoes that I will gladly give to anyone that needs them for the cost only of shipping. We used the other shoes from the two pairs to fit Kara. If anyone can use them or knows of a charity that can use them, please let me know by leaving a comment to this post. It seems such a waste to just throw them away.
Hi, I just saw your post on AC w/LD – if someone one hasn’t already responded – we would love to pay to ship the shoes to us! We haven’t gotten to go and get our daughter yet, but she is actually missing most of her right foot – not even sure if she will be wearing a right shoe, we dont’ know if she will have just a foot prothestic or if they we will wait and see if she can just use what part of her foot there is – if that is the case, it will be significantly smaller than her left foot. I was just wondering how we would be handling the shoe issue. Please let me know – I will respond throgh AC w/LD also!! Thanks so much!

How great to actually find someone to use those shoes. Perhaps this will be a long term relationship!
I just found your blog online. I am stuck with 3 right shoe crocs. 2 pink and 1 blue. Do you know anyone that would want them. They are all different. 2 sizes 8 9 and 1 size 12 13.
