Intoeing gait patterns (pigeon toes) are typically seen in children, and are noticed when a child starts to walk. Besides being a cute way of walking, many parents become concerned for their child as this gait pattern generally leads to excessive tripping and risks injury. If left untreated, the body compensates by developing flat feet and flat foot types, which can lead to other problems such as the development of a juvenile bunion, hammer toe, plantar fasciitis and other foot problems.
