Pediatric Flexible Flatfoot

Symptomatic flexible flatfoot in kids: the arch that's there on the exam table and gone on the floor, activity fatigue, and a gait that worries the parents more than the child. Control with comfort, in a build that keeps up with growth.

Style
¾-length as the default for school shoes; full-length for sport
Density map
Firm but forgiving (≈45–55A)

Kids' devices take abuse. The one-piece FDM shell has no posts to snap off or layers to peel apart. When the foot grows, the next size reprints from a fresh 10-second scan with the identical prescription.

What you'll see

  • An arch present off weight-bearing that disappears on stance
  • Valgus heels and medial bulging on the standing exam
  • Activity-related fatigue: the child who asks to be carried
  • Jack's test / windlass reconstitutes the arch (confirms flexibility)
  • A family history is common

Clinical note

A rigid or painful-stiff flatfoot is a different animal. Think tarsal coalition, and image before templating.

Every template is a starting prescription, not a constraint. Each parameter stays fully editable in Rx Studio before you send the order.
