Who should wear them?
Almost everybody.
As the world becomes urbanised the majority of the population is walking in shoes on hard level concrete surfaces. This does not allow for the proper reflex stimulation of the growing foot and muscular imbalances will occur. This easily evidenced by simply looking at the shoes.

Can Orthotics Help Kids?

Childhood foot problems can have both immediate and long-term effects. During growth, the normal development of the pelvis and the spine will suffer if there is a foot imbalance. A budding athlete’s skill level - even running at recess - can be significantly affected. Later on, foot problems from childhood can interfere with adolescent (or adult) spinal function, which can result in poor biomechanics and accelerated degenerative changes in the knees, hips, and spine.
