I did tell you. Look back a few answers. You probably are more knock-kneed too when you wear Toms or flats.

When you wear Toms or flats, your feet have to work harder and the turning in may be their compensation to do that.
Hmm so your saying that it's just a big illusion?

Illusion? No, I didn't say that at all. Do you now anything about pronation?

What you need to do is put on Toms or flats and walk around slowly and carefully, being very thoughtful about how you walk. Practice walking the way you want to. How does it feel? Can you do it wearing that kind of shoe? If it feels okay, practice every day, several times a day until it becomes a habit to walk that way. If it hurts, then you've got a problem.

This is a child - school hasn't noticed and her parents haven't noticed?

I'm guessing it's a body-image thing. I had the same feeling about my own style of walking when I was in eighth grade and wanted to walk like an Indian princess gliding through the forest primeval. (Can you tell that I had just finished reading James Fenimore Cooper's books?) Plus, I hung out with a lot of boys and didn't walk like they did, but didn't know to factor in female anatomy.
