YOUTH ARCH
in
From birth to age 3 no standardized arch supports are recommended. From age 3-6 the child is growing, and when foot or postural problems are noticed, they should be seen by their podiatrist for professional evaluation. By age 6, the inherited foot structure is established and properly fitted arch supports are recommended.

Youth Re-Fitting Program
Experts recommend children accumulate 30-60 minutes of vigorous, active play or exercise every single day. Unfortunately, many kids aren’t able to do so. Sometimes children don’t get out and play as often as they should because their feet, back, or legs hurt. Weight-bearing pressure on growing feet can discourage kids from participating in daily exercise and play. Good Feet Youth Arch Support Inserts assist in supporting and redistributing body weight more evenly, which can relieve foot, leg, and even back pain. Less pain means more healthy, active playtime!
It is essential that you bring your child in for an arch support sizing check-up by a certified Good Feet arch support fitter every 6 months or every time your child outgrows his or her shoes, whichever comes first. Good Feet’s Youth Re-Fitting Program is a great way to ensure your child’s supports are always the proper size for his or her foot; see your store for program details.
Support Support Endurance
and
Performance
These days, many kids are participating in organized sports, practicing and competing harder than ever before. This level of vigorous activity is great for fitness but can take a toll on growing bodies. Strenuously exercising with improperly fit footwear or inadequate support can lead to injury. Good Feet Youth Arch Support Inserts provide balance and support for the foot, which can assist in reducing impact shock with every step. The arch supports stabilize the foot and support the arches, which reduces wasted side-to-side energy. More comfort and efficient energy use can lead to better performance!
Prevent Adult Foot Problems Many adult foot problems can be traced back to wearing improperly fit shoes without adequate support during childhood. In fact, many of the stylish shoes your kids like to wear lack the proper support a growing foot needs during the most critical developmental years. Light and thin enough to fit into almost any shoe, Good Feet Arch Support Inserts support your child’s growing feet in style.
