The Pedipod children's foot insoles is a unique pediatric device designed by HealthyStep . Easy to fit in most sensible children’s shoe styles, the Pedipod gives immediate pain relief and stabilizes children’s feet, but the best results are achieved when exercises are done to strengthen the feet and legs. The Pedipod has been specifically designed for children’s feet reflecting their more mobile foot joints. These aren’t just undersized adult insoles. The Pedipod orthotic device captures abnormal foot motion and controls it while the foot grows and strengthens more naturally. Forefoot contoured support to stabilize the foot as the load moves from the heel to the forefoot, preventing instability and foot hyper-pronation. Deep heel cup to hold the soft tissue around the heel keeping the heel fat pad under the heel, preventing it from squeezing sideways Suitable shoes: Deep casual shoes. Deep lace-up shoes. Trainers (recommended). Hiking boots. Unsuitable for very flat shoes. Additional information on the design features Deep Heel Cup The Pedipod has a deep heel cup, allowing a little more anti-pronatory control. This means added comfort and that feeling of being properly supported. Reduced Pronation The midfoot ‘saddle’ is a contoured profile that improves dynamic function by reducing the amount and speed of pronation in the hindfoot of the child. More Efficient Gait Under the first joint is a recess that allows the big toe to bend (dorsiflex) effectively when walking, making the gait more efficient.
