Mr Egleton was born in 1940 with a club left foot and
deformed ankle joint and later in childhood contracted polio,
he lived with his family on a remote farm during WWII.
As the country was at war his condition was stabilised
and his foot deformities were left untreated, as he grew older it was noticed
that his leg growth had become restricted and the muscles were weak due
to polio.
in the 1950s his doctor sent him to see a surgeon
who assesed Mr Egleton and found that there was nothing that they could
do to improve his condition so it was left at that .
Mr Egleton has over time had to go from just an ankle
brace and surgical boot with a 1 1/2 inch raise to a full leg brace to
support his deformed anlke joint, an insole to help support his turned
under foot and surgical boot with a 3 1/2 inch raise.
