My BIL has a club foot. He spent many years in plaster as a bub (it was 28 years ago so treatment has probably come a long way since then). His affected foot is 2 sizes smaller and he does tire more easily when he plays sports but other than that he's totally OK. Oh, the one other thing is he got knocked back from the navy because he couldn't pass the physical but that's not a huge issue. He's a happy, healthy 28 year old preparing to marry his true love. Life for him just gets better and better.
