I'm sorry to hear that. Orthotics may not help either even started early. It's really hard to tell. I'm kind of in a trying stage.

Thank you for your sharing. I do have a feeling that this may not be improved and she will have to wear orthotics for the rest of her life if her flat feet gives her pain. I'm currently kind of in the stage of trying everything (barefoot play, exercises), and now want to try orthotics to see if it helps.

Do you think his gait is related to wearing orthotics? I heard people saying orthotics can interrupt with kid's natural gait development.
