Dr. Lynn Staheli Intoeing is common in childhood and is usually outgrown. Children commonly intoe when they start to walk at 1 year, are usually walking with their feet straight ahead by the age of 8 years, and walk with them turned slightly outwards by puberty.
Most hooked feet get better without treatment during the baby's first month.
If not, casting may be necessary. Most legs with tibial torsion get better without treatment. The cause of femoral torsion is unknown. Femoral torsion is usually most severe when the child is about 5-6 years old. Most children outgrow this condition.
