When we choose insoles for children, we usually choose soft insoles instead of hard ones. Maybe some people will wonder why?
Here’s why:
1. Natural Development: Children’s feet are still growing and developing, and their bones, muscles, and ligaments are more pliable compared to adults. Restricting natural movement or providing excessive support through hard insoles can interfere with the natural development of their feet.
2. Proper Foot Mechanics: Children’s feet need the opportunity to develop proper foot mechanics, strength, and proprioception. Firm insoles may limit the natural movement and flexibility of the foot, potentially impeding the development of healthy foot arches and proper gait patterns.
If your child needs a hard insole, we recommend the semi-rigid insole “https://www.aideastep.com/product/semi-rigid-orthopedic-arch-support-insole-for-children/“, which is very supportive and comfortable.
