Flat Feet Can Run in Families. Here's What That Means for Your Child
If you've dealt with foot pain yourself, you already know how much it can affect your day. What you might not know: flat feet often have a genetic component, and if you have them, your child may be more likely to as well.
Why it's often genetic
Foot structure, including arch height, tends to run in families. If flat feet are common on either side of your family, it's more likely your child could have them too.
Why age 6 to 15 matters
Most toddlers have flat feet, and it's a normal part of early development. But research shows that by age 6, about 1 in 4 kids still have flat feet, and for many, this continues into the school years. This is the stage where it's worth paying a little more attention.
What this means for you as a parent
You already understand the discomfort: the tired feet at the end of the day, the ache after standing too long. Your child may be experiencing something similar, even if they don't know how to describe it yet.
You don't need to wait for a problem to develop. Ritmost insoles are made from natural cork, designed to support growing feet through active days, playtime, and everything in between, without the stiffness or high cost of custom orthotics.
