  MarkellThe Markell Shoe Company has been in business since 1914 manufacturing and selling prescription and orthopedic shoes for children and infants. The Markell Shoe Company specializes in designing and manufacturing shoes for children with mild in-toeing (pigeon toe) and out-toeing as well as shoes for children with more serious foot deformities such as clubfoot and severe varus deformity and valgus deformity. Markell's Tarso Medius® and Tarso Pronator® Open Toe Boots along with Denis Browne Splints (also referred to as Denis Browne Bars or Denis Browne Braces) are frequently prescribed by podiatrists for use in the Ponseti Method for treating clubfoot in infants and young children. Many Markell children's shoes are corrective shoes, designed to positively influence the development of young, flexible feet to prevent painful deformities later in life. Always consult a pediatric podiatrist or pediatrician before buying a children's corrective shoe. When fitted improperly or used on normally developing children's feet a corrective shoe may do more harm than good.
