Arch Support for Kids

Yena’s been suffering from foot pain for several months now, my poor baby. We’ve been to the doctor and the doctor’s advice was for her to stop wearing her flat summer sandals and wear shoes all day in the house. That didn’t help. So when I ordered her winter boots and black Mary Janes from Zappos, I tried to look for “excellent arch support”. She tried all 14 of them and picked two that were most comfortable, but after just one afternoon on an AHG field trip to the vets, she was complaining of a sore foot again. I’d planned to call a podiatrist in the area to make an appointment, but just for good measure checked out what the Internet had to offer in terms of arch support for children. Found two looks-okay websites, Feet Relief, and Healthy Feet Blog. I also found that Amazon offers what they call “insoles”. But Dad and Yena were going to Wal-Mart last night and I suggested they check out the Dr. Scholl’s display with the footmapping thingie. They came home with $50 insoles that Yena’s been wearing since last night, and liking. It came with a money-back guarantee so we’re giving it a go. But I thought I’d take note of the other sites here just in case Dr. S doesn’t deliver.
