Pigeon-toed children typically outgrow this affliction over time. Most of the time, even grownups who continue to pigeon-toe will not detect any detrimental effects, even when jogging. However, you might need to consult a doctor if joint discomfort starts to appear; he might suggest wearing particular shoes or perhaps having surgery to fix the problem.

Definition of Pigeon Toes
Instead of angling their feet forward and away from one another as they typically would, pigeon-toed people have their feet angled toward one another. According to the Colorado Foot Institute, a youngster with pigeon toes will typically eventually outgrow them. This ailment is particularly prevalent in children. However, even people with pigeon toes typically do not experience severe daily limitations as a result of the disorder.
