Children’s insoles for longitudinal arch belong to the Insoles category and are intended to provide additional support for children’s feet, especially when longitudinal arch support is needed. A properly selected insole may contribute to more comfortable walking, better pressure distribution and improved comfort in footwear.
This category includes children’s orthopedic insoles and children’s skeleton insoles, selected according to foot size, footwear type and professional recommendation. For children, it is important that the insole does not squeeze the foot, does not cause blisters and fits the shoes the child wears every day.
Children’s insoles should not be introduced without professional advice in cases of more serious walking problems, pain, pronounced fallen arches or irregular foot position. In such situations, examination by a pediatrician, orthopedist, physiatrist or podiatrist is recommended.

Pharmacist’s advice
Children’s insoles should be the correct size, properly placed in footwear and comfortable enough for the child to walk normally. If the child reports pain, blisters, pressure, tingling or refuses to wear shoes with the insole, the size, position of the insole and the footwear should be checked. In cases of pronounced fallen arches, irregular walking, pain in the feet, knees, hips or back, it is best to seek advice from a pediatrician, orthopedist, physiatrist or podiatrist. Children’s insoles should not be used as a substitute for professional examination when there is a visible walking or foot position problem. Ljubica Barbulović, Master of Pharmacy
