It is particularly important to react early to malpositioning or incorrect weight-bearing in children.
This may be congenital, occur in different growth phases or be caused by shoes that are too small.
The igli Junior insole is the ideal solution to prevent long-term problems with feet and posture.
It was developed especially for the particular needs of children and teenagers. It supports the feet during the growth phase and can positively affect posture.
Parents in particular are always fascinated by the mobility of the tiny limbs of their newborns. At this stage, babies seem to care little about whether they can explore the world with their little hands or feet. This is because the foot of a newborn is first a gripping organ before it develops into a walking organ. Every once in a while, deformities of the little feet occur, such as a highly arched foot, flat feet or splay feet. Such a deformity is harmless in many cases and sorts itself out after birth. Otherwise, your orthopaedist may assess the need for therapy, for example with suitable orthopaedic insoles.
Dr Stefan Wilke, specialist in orthopaedics, trauma surgery and paediatric orthopaedics gave an interview on the topic ‘Therapy for flat feet in young children’, which you can find here.

We are happy to provide you with some tips on how to counteract incorrect positioning of your child.
Do not buy the first pair of shoes too early. No shoes are required for the foot’s development before the child can walk alone:
For a comfortable fit on both warm and cool days.
The shell shape ensures optimal heel guidance, stabilisation and support of the foot in the shoe.
The flexible carbon support promotes mobility and strengthens the muscles. Due to its low thickness, it does not restrict the radius of the foot’s movement.
Stimulate the muscles and can be variably adapted to your child’s indication.
The igli carbon insole for children combines conservative and interactive modes of action in a unique insole system to correct foot deformities in children.
The insole thus has an effect on what makes children mobile or immobile and contributes to ensuring long-term therapeutic success.
