The paid guides

Written material only. PDFs you download and keep. What is not here matters as much: no braces, no boots, no insoles, no shoes, no equipment. This site writes about those categories, so it does not sell them.

Before you buy anything

Check whether the free material covers what you need first. The guides page matches your situation to whichever guide is actually built for it, and for a lot of people that turns out to be one of the free ones.

The free guides are complete documents and not samples with the useful parts removed. If the parent checklist is all you ever need, that is a good outcome and nothing is being withheld from you.

FormatPDF, built to work printed and on a phone. No app, no login, no expiry.

UpdatesFree once you have bought a guide. Revised versions are yours.

SalesFinal. Digital download, so there is nothing to return.

What buying one pays for

Guides, voluntary reader support, Amazon affiliate commissions and the mobile app are what fund this site. That mix is the mechanism by which it declines money from brace makers, footwear brands, orthotics companies and private clinics. All of whom would happily fund a clubfoot resource, and all of whom are subjects the pages here need to be honest about. The privacy policy sets out the affiliate and app arrangements in full.

The site sells writing so that it never has to sell equipment.

Buying and delivery

What is actually for sale?

Written guides, delivered as PDFs. Nothing physical, nothing medical, and no braces, footwear, insoles or equipment of any kind. The site reviews those categories and so will never sell them.

How is it delivered?

By download immediately after purchase, with a link emailed as well. No app, no account to maintain, and no subscription that renews unless you deliberately set one up.

Do I get updates?

Yes, free. When a guide is materially revised the version date on its front page changes, and buyers can download the current version instead of paying again.

Is there a refund policy?

No. All sales are final. Guides are files you download immediately, so there is nothing to return. Each guide’s page sets out exactly what it covers before you buy.

Why is some material free?

The free guides are complete, not samples. Paid guides cover narrower ground for people who have already committed to something specific, and they are what funds the free material.

Does buying get me personal advice?

No, and that is worth being explicit about. Guides are preparation material, and buying one creates no clinical relationship, no consultation, and no entitlement to an opinion about your own foot or your child’s.
