I was pigeon toed when I was young... My mom informed me my pediatrician suggested putting my shoes on the wrong feet. Sounds kinda crazy but all I know is I am no longer pigeon toed.

Hello!

Many young children exhibit flatfeet, toe walking, pigeon toes, bowlegs, and knock knees in their first years of life. Some of these conditions correct by themselves.

I would suggest you to follow up with an orthopedician and if there is any vitamin D deficiency then start giving him supplements.

If required he will be suggested therapy and custom made boots after an examination and diagnosis.

Take care!
