I attempted to purchase arch support insole but I am not sure if this is the way to go. I am praying that I can purchase custom insole for her to wear with sandals. can any on advise or point me in the right directions. She’s tearing my heart she wants to wear them so bad. She won’t wear them everyday or for extremely long periods of time. Thank you for you time

Please see a doctor (preferably podiatrist or a foot/ankle specialist) immidiately if your child cries due to pain. A doctor will be able to help you.

I have a very active 5 year old boy that is severly flat footed on both feet. Lately while he runs and plays with other kids he stops and cries because his legs hurt. When you ask him where he more or less describes shin splints. Is there something we can do so he can stay an active child? Is there a special shoe he can wear? I always make sure I buy him shoes with support but it not seem to be enough. I would appreciate any help. Thanks!!!
