Children’s Shoes, Children’s Orthotics & Balance
Report
Children's shoes must be constructed properly and must fit properly. We check our patient's shoes for healthy design features and for correct fit, and provide parents/ guardians with advice. Hypermobile children's balance improves immediately a properly fitted shoe is placed on their feet. These children should not be told to take off their shoes at kindergarten/ day care/ school.
