Markell Shoe Co.

Tarso Medius shoes are made over straight lasts. They are completely neutral, without inflare or outflare. Straight last shoes are useful in transition from Tarso Pronator or Tarso Outflare to normal shoes, or for mild pigeon toe where an outflare shoe is considered too severe.

Straight last shoes have therapeutic value where there is some slight varus or inward swing of the forefoot, which is often associated with in-toeing gate. The foot may have been previously treated – and substantially corrected – with casts and splint, or the condition may have been considered too minimal to require early treatment.
