Designed to support children and adolescents through their active growth phases. These insoles help prevent pain and discomfort in the knees, heels and shins.
How to know if your child has foot issues
Detecting foot misalignments in children is challenging as symptoms manifest differently than with adults.
Often, children don’t understand the issue and rarely feel pain. Instead, they might trip over their feet, have inward-turning feet, or knock knees.
Signs include avoiding walks, lagging behind, or running less than peers.
Does your child consistently walk unevenly in his/her footwear?
If children wear out the inside of the heel more than the outside of the heel on their shoes, it could be due to a fallen arch, causing more pressure on the inside of the foot.
Does your child have heel pain?
Heel pain in children aged 8-14 can often be due to Sever’s syndrome, exacerbated by compressed footwear and sports on hard surfaces like synthetic tracks and handball courts.
Sever’s syndrome is an irritation in the still-growing joint surfaces of the heel bone, mainly affecting children in their growth phase during which their feet are subjected to hard impacts from running on solid surfaces, and the shock-absorbing effect in their shoes is not sufficient.
The condition can prevent participation in sports and impact their activity level and quality of life.
How parents can tell if it’s Sever’s syndrome
As a parent and coach, you can look for clear signs, such as if the child has difficulty bearing weight on their heel and compensates by walking more on the forefoot. The child will often describe pain in the heel and Achilles tendon, and that it hurts every time they take a step with that foot.
Pain-free movement
Our customized solutions ensure comfort and support for active and pain-free movement.
Shock absorption
It’s important that the insole is specially designed for the child to provide the best relief and support.
A good metch
It’s crucial that the insole and footwear are a good match, as both need to support the child in their movement.
“I have previously had issues with insoles that weren’t very durable and quickly lost their functionality, but I must say that has not been my experience with ZOLES. I play badminton myself, and I think the insoles work exceptionally well, even though I train multiple times a week.”
