Growing Feet Need Real Support
Kids' feet change shape every few months. Ultra Young Soles® are built to grow with them — supporting the arch, the ankle, and everything stacked above.

Ultra Young Soles®
for growing feet
Feet are the foundation of posture — and in a child, that foundation is still being built. Between ages 5 and 12 the feet grow fast, and the way a kid stands, walks, and runs today shapes how they move for decades.
Big support for little feet
Ultra Young Soles® are custom-made orthotics built specifically for growing bodies. Unlike off-the-shelf inserts, each pair is crafted to support all three arches of your child's feet, so the whole body stays balanced from the ground up.
We measure and fit them right here in the office. Every child's feet are different — and a foot that rolls inward, flattens under load, or tires quickly sends that strain upstairs to the ankles, knees, hips, and low back.
Support the feet. Support the whole child.
Healthy Posture
Helps establish healthy posture and optimal biomechanics during the years kids grow fastest — so good alignment starts early and lasts.
Fewer Growing Pains
Offers biomechanical support for the young body, helping ease the aches that show up with growth spurts, long school days, and hard practice weeks.
Steadier at Play
Helps keep kids stable and supported, lessening the risk of injury on the playground, in practice, and on game day.
Worth a Look
Signs it may be time
- One shoe wears down faster than the other
- Heel, arch, or knee pain after sports
- Flat feet, or ankles that roll inward when standing
- Frequent tripping, clumsiness, or a heavy-sounding walk
- Tired, achy legs after an ordinary school day
- Growing pains that keep coming back
- Back or neck complaints in a backpack-carrying kid
None of these on their own means your child needs orthotics — they simply mean it's worth a proper look.
The Process
From scan to sneakers
Evaluate & Scan
A quick, painless scan of both feet in our office captures the exact shape of all three arches — no messy casts, no guesswork.
Custom Crafted
Your child's own measurements are used to handcraft a pair made for them alone — not a size pulled off a shelf.
Into Their Shoes
They drop into everyday sneakers, cleats, and boots. No break-in drama, no fighting over footwear.
Room to Grow
We re-check fit as they grow, and the Posture Protect Program™ keeps the next pair within reach.
Posture Protect Program™
Kids grow. Orthotics don't.
Once a child outgrows their orthotics by more than a size and a half, they stop supporting the feet the way they were built to. The Posture Protect Program™ offers savings on new orthotics for children ages 5 through 17 as their shoe size increases — so support doesn't stop the moment they hit a growth spurt.

Not sure if your child needs them?
We'll tell you honestly. Bring their school shoes and their cleats to the visit and we'll look at how they stand, walk, and wear them down — then decide together what actually helps.
Custom orthotics are one piece of a whole-child plan. Recommendations are made only after a full evaluation, and they never replace medical care.
