M.J. Markell Shoe Offers Open-Toe Boots and Denis Browne Splints

    Markell Shoe Company offers a new open-toe boot which has been developed in cooperation with Dr. Ignacio Ponseti and other leading orthopedic surgeons. The Tarso Medius Straight Last Boot has been specially constructed for use in the Ponseti treatment protocol and provides unparalleled comfort for baby’s tender feet.

• New contoured last with a deeper, more rounded heel pocket
• Built-in ankle and instep cushions
• Soft, tanned leather lining throughout the shoe and under the tongue
• New, softer rolled-top line to keep stitching and rough edges away from baby’s skin
• Longer instep strap with added holes to better anchor foot
• New smaller 0000 size added for babies as young as six weeks.

    Clubfoot correction is maintained with the use of Denis Browne Splints on which the boots are mounted in order to hold the foot or feet in an abducted position over the duration of the treatment.
