We have four kids, the oldest two are toe walkers with semi-flat feet. The doctor just informed me I need to get them some arch support, but am concerned because most of the inserts I see have heel support as well and I am not sure that would be good for toe-walkers. They are in sizes 1 1/2 and 13, what sizes would I need and would these be a good buy for us? We have four kids, the oldest two are toe walkers with semi-flat feet.

I don't know about toe-walkers. Our granddaughter has flat feet and her osteopathic doctor recommended arch support, alongside the monthly treatment she received. We are extremely happy with this product, which helped a great deal. our granddaughter loves it and has now learned that if she does not wear them, her feet ache. Her arch is gradually developing. We got her a size 11. She still wears it even though her shoe size is 11 1/2. Janet

My daughters have used them for a couple of years but unfortunately it was not enough support for my 6 year old who still pronates a lot. We had to have orthotics made for her which we were trying to avoid as it is expensive. Go to a good podiatrist and get his opinion, depends on how much your child pronates and how much support your child needs..

The paper that came with the order states WalkFit Platinum. There are 3 sizes of arch inserts.I can't tolerate the lowest. My. Feet have lost their arch over the last 2 years. An orthopedist recommended WalkFits for foot pain, but the pain persists.

The skates have an adjustable piece that slides in and out to make them smaller or bigger. I purchased two pairs last Christmas; one for a 2 year old and one for a four year old. I ordered the same size, and they both fit. They put them on immediately and "walked/skated" all around the house. They don't roll fast like regular skates and it gives them time to get used to how to skate. It was a great gift for both of them. There is a sizing chart when you purchase them that you can go by. Although the four year old looked like he had just outgrown the skates and the size was on the margin, they fit him fine. check the size chart out The skates have an adjustable piece that slides in and out to make them smaller or bigger.

I wear a 14 and it did just fine for me. The majority of the support keeps your foot in dorsiflection, which is what you need. You do not walk in this. I can not remember if my toes hung over the front, but they might have done so. I haven't needed to use this for a long time.

I think you will be good. When I bought them my son was A size 10-11 and he does good with them. They are a little big however you can adjust the tightness with the latches. We also bought these because all the other ones in his normal show size was way too small and could not even get his foot in them. We really like these especially since it comes with all the protective gear.

Yes, these are more of an arch support. Everyone's arch is higher or lower than someone else. Since one size wont fit all, they try to make a few different sizes of arch support so you can try to get one that is somewhat close. If you need an arch support these can help provide some relief. If you need an arch support and would like a professional fit like a doctor would prescribe go to Surethotic.com. They will make a support that is an exact fit and will last 10 times longer.

I purchased these over a year ago and they are still in great shape and my son still uses them. Kids feet grow so fast I bought them bigger and just put thicker socks on him till his feet got a little bigger that way he has gotten more use out of them. I would go for the 1-4 size. Just my opinion though.

I have been wearing the Dorsi-lite foot splint on both feet inside the house for a month or more. It is really helpful. I also tried wearing them inside my sneakers yesterday and you take off the toe wrap, put the device inside the shoe and put the shoe in. Worked well. If the sandals are the ones that you put something between the toes to wear it, you'd have to use the bottom wrap. I don't think the sandal that holds onto your toes would slip off. I'm buying a set of sandals that have a velcro adjustment at the toe and at the top of the shoe so I can enjoy summer with the Dorsi's. Hope this helps.

Don't bother!!!! I would buy Alegria shoes or a good quality shoe that realigns your feet, I used those orthotics but they don't work and for a few more dollars u can buy a nice pair of shoes!!

I don't know. That is not my problem. My foot problem is a High arch and plantar fascitis. I have to have a rigid high arch insole and have always used superfeet. I went with yours this time because your advertisement said they were comparable to superfeet. They were not for my high arch problem. Thank you.

Measure around the arch and check all types, You may come upon one that gives you an idea of size to order. I would order med, I'm a nine M-W width. If your foot chnages sizesduring the day you may want some large along with med and be able to change. Not good to let it get too tight.

You would need their largest size which is 5. Amazon description lacks all of the details in order to size these properly. You may need to wear shoes one size larger in order to accomodate the insert into your shoes. These are pricey but great.

I did order based on shoe size. My daughter at the time wore a size 2 and the size was 2/3. They were a little big to fit in some of the shoes, but I found that they fit in most of her shoes. Hope that helps! They also have a small sticky circle on the bottom. We didn't use this at first as we were moving the insert in multiple shoes. They stay in pretty well in most shoes!

I find it very true to size. I wear a size 10 and they fit me perfectly. There is an insert that can be removed, although I think it may be glued down but only in a few spots. I could pull mine out if I had to with little or no effort. I do know of a person who would pull his out and replace them with new inserts when his wore out. I hope this helps you decide. These are the most comfortable and well supporting shoes I have ever had. Whenever I have to get dressed up and put on high heels my feet just kill me. I hope you will be as pleased with the shoes as I am.

I am a 71/2 ... narrow narrow feet... I got the half-sizer, but because my feet were so narrow, I got what I call a heel gripper and the sloggers fit fine. You can buy them at CVS or Rite Aid ...Good Luck.

I have severe pronation and fallen arches. So I need a strong arch support as well. These are the only ones that work anywhere close to a custom orthotic. They will not last as long as a custom but they will do the trick for a year or two.

It is very true that these rollerblades run small. We originally bought them, in the "1-4" size for our 6-year old who was then just into size 12 shoe. They fit her from the first day and lasted for two years until she became a size 3 shoe. At that time we bought the next size up, the "5-8" and she is still wearing them and is not even a size 4 shoe yet. Her little sister (size 12) inherited the 1-4's and wears them at the smallest adjustment. So while they may not be exactly right for your 10-11 daughter right now they will fit her soon and will then fit her for a good few years. It is very true that these rollerblades run small.
