Overpronation caused by flat feet may result in lower-body problems

Overpronation causes the child to develop an abnormal walking pattern. If not corrected, overpronation in children may cause severe foot pain in the short term , and often results in painful lower-body conditions later in life such as Children’s Heel Pain (Sever’s Disease), Children’s Knee pain (Osgood-Schlatters disease), general foot pain, ankle pain and/or aching legs.

By supporting the arches, Footminders KIDS orthotics help correct this condition, preventing potentially severe lower-body problems.

How do I know if my child needs Footminders KIDS orthotic insoles?

From the day they’re born, all children have flat feet. By the age of 4 or 5, the arches usually start to develop. However, with some children the feet remain flat, or with very low arches. It is important to determine whether your child suffers from excessive pronation (rolling inward of the ankles). Overpronation is easily diagnosed. If you draw an imaginary line from the tip of the ankle bone downwards and the line ends away from the foot (see example to the left), your child overpronates and his/her feet need correcting.

How do I determine the right size Footminders KIDS insoles for my child?

Please use the sizing guide on the left to determine the correct size for your child. We recommend that you measure the length of his/her foot from the back of the heel to the tip of the big toe.

NOTE: If your child’s foot measures 8 inches or more, please try our adult-sized orthotics in size X-SMALL or above.
