Children's flat feet can be corrected in a variety of ways, including using orthotic insoles, foot exercises, and choosing the right shoes.

How to correct children's flat feet

1. Orthotic insoles are

tailored to the child's specific foot condition to provide additional support and correction and help improve arch shape. These insoles adjust the distribution of forces on the foot, reducing discomfort and potential problems with flat feet.

2. Foot exercises

strengthen foot muscles and flexibility through specific foot exercises. For example, let the child grab a towel or ball with his toes and stand on his tiptoes. These exercises help improve the function of foot muscles and thus improve flat feet to some extent.

3. Choose the right shoes

for children with good support and stability. The midsole of the shoe should provide enough stiffness and support to reduce excessive collapse of the foot while walking. Also, ensure that the shoe size is appropriate, as neither too large nor too small can adversely affect foot health.
