my son had this problem, its not serious, he was given special insoles for his shoes and the problem corrects itself within 12/18 months, just take him to your GP.
good luck.
Get an expert opinion, it really is best because it could be down to many things that most us have no clue of.

You need to get different soles in the shoes. It is because he has one leg bigger than the other, nothing that looks wierd if you put them next to each other, it will only be about an inch or so less. Therefore just get a bigger sole in the leg which curves in.
my cousin has this he usally wheres a splint got to a doctor
go to the doctor.i was too young to understand when ever my foot did that and my mom took me to the doctor.it was fine after a couple years haha
First take him to the Doctor who will then be able to recommend a treatment, possibly appointmentp[s] with an approved chiropodist.
Question - does your son play football or any game where he is likely to come into contact with other players of a similar age and where minor injury may occure?

it's called ingateing,it's when the muscles are tight at the back of the legs.
see a doctor , physio might help.
depends how slightly it is really..
I know a lot of very very able bodied people who stand very slightly with turned in feet.. it is just the way they are... does he play sport? does it actually affect how he walks, runs etc? If he doesn't play sport then maybe get him kicking a ball... running about, so he begins to understand how his body works.. if it is just posture then it'll probably sort itself out with a bit of activity and application. Spot of rugby will sort it out as long as it's not physiological.
At his age, if it is only very slight, it might be an idea to not draw a great deal of attention to it if he is happy and it doesnt affect him.
take him to a doctor, he may need a splint to correct the problem.
I have a friend who walks with both feet turned in slightly, it might not be a problem then again it might be a problem. So I would suggest asking for a refurral to a physiotherapist who will be able to help.
Get a cobbler to add an extra strip of leather or similar material to the sole of the shoe, boot or trainer. The thickness of this has to be determined by the angle of turn in. The extra strip has to be placed between the tip of the big toe and along the edge of the sole. The gait corrects itself in time. My son had a similar problem about the same age as yours and after about a year he was walking perfectly.
when my daughter started walkin this was her problem she was always trippin herself up i spoke to a doctor who referred her to hospital now they take car of her she has insoles in her shoes to aid her but now she of age where they will interven
