Flat feet in children
Children and infants often look as if they have flat feet. The\narch is usually there, but the feet are still forming. In time, the\narch will appear as normal. The extra fat on an infant’s foot\nmay also be hiding the arch.
Having apparently flat feet during early childhood does not\nmean that the person will always have flat feet. Children with\nflat feet can be assisted with an arch support (Right Insoles),\nbefore the bones and tendons become rigid and this will assist\nthe body to form an arch.
If there is pain in the feet or the child walks or runs clumsily or loses\nbalance while walking, it is advisable to use insoles.\n
Usage of FootPro insoles early on ( Around 7-12 years) in\nchildren identified with flat feet will help to form the arch over\ntime, before the bones and tendons become rigid and can act\nas a preventive to the development of flat feet.
