Flexible flatfoot is a condition where the arch of the foot appears flattened when standing but returns when not bearing weight. It is common in children and can sometimes cause discomfort or limit physical activity. Custom arch support insoles can offer helpful relief by guiding the foot into better alignment. Over a period of about 12 weeks, children who wear these insoles often show clear signs of improvement. They may feel less pain, move with greater ease, and perform daily tasks such as climbing stairs or rising from a chair more efficiently. The insoles are shaped to fit the child’s foot structure, offering targeted support that helps with comfort and function. As each child’s feet grow and develop differently, careful monitoring is important. If your child has flexible flatfoot and is experiencing pain or trouble with movement, it is suggested that you see a podiatrist for a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

What Are Custom Orthotics?
Custom orthotics are inserts you can place into your shoes to help with a variety of foot problems such as flat feet or foot pain. Orthotics provide relief and comfort for minor foot and heel pain.
Over-the-Counter Inserts
Shoe inserts come in a wide variety and are used to treat foot pain, heel pain, and minor problems. For example, arch supports can be inserted into your shoes to help correct overarched or flat feet, while gel insoles are often used because they provide comfort and relief from foot and heel pain by alleviating pressure.
Prescription Orthotics
If over-the-counter inserts don’t work for you or if you have a more severe foot concern, it is possible to have your podiatrist prescribe custom orthotics. These high-quality, custom inserts are designed to treat problems such as abnormal motion, plantar fasciitis, and severe forms of heel pain. They can even be used to help patients suffering from diabetes by treating foot ulcers and painful calluses and are usually molded to your feet individually, which allows them to provide full support and comfort.
If you're experiencing minor to severe foot or heel pain, it’s recommended to speak with your podiatrist about the possibility of using custom orthotics or shoe inserts. A podiatrist can determine which type of custom orthotic or shoe insert is right for you and help you take the first steps toward being pain-free.
