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.
