Abstract: The orthopedic shoe designed for correcting malformations of the foot in infants comprises a rigid posterior part (4) to hold the hindfoot and an anterior part (10) to hold the forefoot. These parts 4, 10 are secured to each other through a connecting piece (15) jointed with a ball-and-socket (19) in at least one of the parts (10) and which can be blocked (21) in position. The joint which has three degrees of freedom in the relative position of the posterior (4) and anterior (10) parts permits any adjustment to correct a malformation in the horizontal, vertical and oblique planes, whether or not accompanied by a component of torsion around the direction of deviation.
