My questions concerns my son, who walks on the balls of his feet. He started doing this after age 1. Since he has done this for 10 years is it possible that his Achilles tendon has stopped growing thus making it almost impossible for him to ever walk flat footed? He participates in sports-baseball, football, basketball and golf. He is an A student. Can anyone send me information or advice on this? Thanks, MT
