Pediatric Custom Orthotics

Quick Answer: Most kids don’t need orthotics — flat feet are usually flexible and asymptomatic. Indications: pain, fatigue, frequent tripping, asymmetry, or rigid flat feet. Pediatric custom orthotics from $200-400.

Sizing Concerns

Kids’ orthotics need replacement every 12-18 months as feet grow. We provide growing-foot allowance.

FAQ

Will my child outgrow flat feet?

Often yes — most flat feet resolve by age 6-8. Symptomatic ones need treatment.
