When the child starts to walk, it is the best time to evaluate the IDEASTEP orthotic insole. Allow children’s foot structure to maintain a neutral position from the beginning, allowing the foot bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons to develop smoothly and healthily.
Some children may start walking later or experience a developmental delay. This may be because the position of the skeletal structure is inaccurate, and the child cannot coordinate various functions to achieve walking. In this case, children should use orthotic insoles as early as possible. Let IDEASTEP orthotic insoles help children control their feet and help the body to coordinate so that they can walk early.
