Children’s toes together, separate or not?

If you don’t have multiple toes, but just two toes together, there are sometimes some mild effects, but the vast majority of them don’t have much effect on function, and walking and running are basically no problem because we walk with shoes on and the toes don’t strike wide apart. But the toe will affect the appearance. I had a female patient before, in her mid-twenties, who said that she had never worn sandals in her entire life and felt that she didn’t look good in them, so there was a need to solve the problem. The same is true for children. If the syndactyly is seen by other children, the children may be curious and ask what is going on, which may easily lead to certain psychological barriers in socializing with children with syndactyly. Therefore, for parents, we not only consider the function, but also the future psychological needs of the baby.
