Children’s orthopedic insoles
A child’s foot keeps forming until roughly the age of 12–14, so correct support during this period has the greatest effect. An insole does not hinder growth — it holds the foot in the right position.
Signs to look for
- The child tires quickly and asks to be carried
- The foot rolls inward or outward when walking
- Shoes wear unevenly, on one side
- Complaints of pain in the feet or knees
- An uneven, shuffling gait
What insoles do
- The foot forms in a correct position during growth
- Load is spread evenly across the whole foot
- Less fatigue, more activity
- Lower risk of gait problems getting worse
Who it suits
Usually made from the age of four. Insoles are renewed as the child grows — a yearly check is normally enough.
How to start
- Pick a convenient time by phone or via Telegram
- Get a 3D scan and gait analysis at the branch — free of charge
- The specialist explains the result and selects the right insole type
- The insoles are manufactured, then fitted and adjusted
Frequently asked questions
- From what age are insoles needed?
- Examination usually starts at age four. The exact age is decided at the diagnosis, based on the child’s foot.
- Do insoles need replacing as the child grows?
- Yes. During growth they are usually renewed once a year, which we confirm at the follow-up visit.
- Will the diagnosis frighten the child?
- No. The child simply stands on the scanner and takes a few steps — quick and painless.
