Memo orthopedic insoles for children – main functions
The main tasks of Memo orthopedic insoles for children's shoes include:
- Correcting valgus deformity of the tarsus
- Correcting longitudinal flat feet and transverse flat feet
Our orthopedic insoles for children, as part of the Memo system, are available in various types and sizes. If your child requires orthopedic insoles, you can choose them in the same size as Memo shoes.
Regular use of orthopedic insoles for children's shoes supports:
- Proper shaping of the transverse and longitudinal arches of the foot
- Supination of the heel, correcting an "outward-tilted" heel
- Proper development of the foot, which directly contributes to improved posture of the entire body
- Profiling of the rearfoot and midfoot
How to choose the right insole?
Many parents ask: how do you choose the right insole when a specific zone on the diagnostic sole is worn out? The first step is to identify the type of zone. We distinguish between the norm zone, risk zone, and severe dysfunction zone. The norm zone (1) indicates that the foot is healthy, and Memo footwear serves a preventive function. The risk zone (2) suggests the presence of a potential issue, recommending the use of gray insoles, which should be confirmed with a specialist. The severe dysfunction zones (3), (4) may indicate foot and/or knee problems, and in this case, it's important to consult a specialist to choose the orange insoles, while closely monitoring the wear on the sole. Severe dysfunction zones (5), (6) require mandatory consultation with a specialist. Each zone is well-explained in our catalog.
Additionally, Memo insoles are selected according to the same size as Memo shoes, with ¾ insoles covering three adjacent sizes. What’s the difference between full and ¾ orange insoles? ¾ models are ideal for sandals as they are more discreet around the toes.
How to care for Memo insoles?
To ensure that Memo orthopedic insoles for children serve your child for as long and as effectively as possible, it’s important to follow basic usage and maintenance guidelines. Here are some tips:
- Always insert the insoles properly into the shoes.
- After removing the shoes, leave them unlaced to allow the insoles to dry after a full day of use.
- In the event of heavy moisture, remove the insoles and dry them at room temperature.
- Do not dry insoles on radiators, as this will cause permanent deformation or delamination.
- Do not machine wash the insoles, as this will damage them.
- Clean soiled insoles by wiping them with a slightly damp cotton cloth with a small amount of soap or shampoo.
