Arch AngelsArch Angels Children's Comfort Insoles - 3/4 Length Orthotic Arch Support for Kids (Youth 4-5)

My 9 yr old daughter is very athletic and unfortunately has flat feet. She needs good support in her shoes so that she can avoid pain that comes with running and jumping and being very active. Its time for new sneakers for the new school year and we've tried on over 50 pairs- both boy and girls sneakers- and none work for her feet. I've tried several insoles and they don't work for her. As a last resort, I found and ordered these Arch insoles which are made of firm foam. I chose these b/c of reviews posted (in many forums other than Amazon) and because there were no shipping costs (as a Prime I don't like to pay shipping). Once received, we went back to the store and tried three of her favorite sneakers crossing our fingers these inserts worked. The did! What a relief. We bought high tops for basketball and running sneakers for gym. They did increase her shoe size by .5 so it was good that we had the arches in hand when trying on the sneakers. I will purchase once again for the second pair of sneakers.

These are working pretty well for my son, and I need to buy additional pairs so he's not switching them between shoes. They are quite rigid, and I didn't know how comfortable they would be for him, but he hasn't given any complaints. Also, when he wears them, it decreases his ankle and leg pain, which is a huge plus!

I found lately that my 7 year old has flat footed. My friend suggested to get a pair of arch. This pair of arch stayed well in place and super comfortable. My son has not complaining feet hurt ever since. High quality and well made product. Highly recommended!

My 9 yr daughter is an overpronator. Podiatrist recommended this insert to help stretch tissues to hopefully let her foot grow out of this issue. Fits in the shoe well and other than a little initial soreness (was told to expect this), she never complains about having to wear them.

These have helped my daughter ease pain due to fallen arches (due to gymnastics, dance). No more pain and works great in Crocs.

Inserts are too wide, won’t fit in my daughters converse or Nike shoes. No idea why they are made so wide, Ive never had a problem with any other children’s orthotics before. Bad design.

These are not solid. The material is more like styrofoam! Wasn't comfortable using them as a back up.

My son got less than 2 months of use from these supports before they were worn out. They were great at first. My son immediately had relief when he played sports. However, the arch's have already collapsed. A concave indention has formed along the ridge of the arch. This would seem to me evidence that the arch supports are collapsing downward eliminating the benefit of their intended purpose. As I said. my son had immediate relief and had not been complaining about his feet at all over the last month. That is, until tonight. He had started having sever plantar fasciatis which was aggravated with higher activity levels like sports. As I said, he had not been complaining about his feet at all the last month, until tonight after baseball practice. He was complaining about those tell tale signs again of plantar fasciatis. He was complaining of that sharp stabbing pain in the ball of his foot. I inspected the inserts when we got home and that's when I noticed the flattening and indentation along the arches.

As they are only for a child, I didnt want to spend the extra money on a pair for each set of shoes, so they just get switched back and forth for sports. After about 1.5 months they seem to be wearing a bit along the edges, most likely from coming in and out all the time. They sure have seemed to help though!
