Overview
Foot orthoses sit inside your child’s shoes and are usually custom-made to suit your child’s feet and their specific needs. When starting out, a gradual wearing-in period is important to allow your child to adjust comfortably. Orthoses should never cause pain, and the right footwear plays a big role in both comfort and how effective they are.
Regular skin checks help catch any irritation or pressure areas early, and it’s normal for orthoses to need adjustments and reviews as your child grows or their needs change. If discomfort continues or symptoms return, it’s important to contact Orthokids for further advice and support.
At Orthokids, foot orthoses are usually custom-made using semi-rigid materials that range from soft to firm. These materials are durable and can be adjusted over time to improve comfort and function as your child grows.
