My baby is two months old and she was born with club foot for right foot ... with 6 plasters her foot is now in correct position but doc suggested that she has to wear a shoe for 24 hours so that foot position should not change . Is there any other procedure other than wearing that pair of shoes which she has to wear max for 5 years ?

Afos are compulsory otherwise
