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..

Neither, I tried them and they are worthless. That's my opinion. I need an orthotic arch support and these were not the answer - I emphasize - for me. But, go bigger than smaller!

I would order both and try them in your shoes. I have a pair of 9's in a 9 shoe and it makes the toe tight but on another pair of 9's they're fine. You can always return the one that doesn't work but I highly recommend them. I have several pairs and they do make a big difference.

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.

I would do a 1 1/2 they are pretty true to size but that's what I did went up 1/2 size in my son and daughters so they can get use out of them . If you have to you can wear thick socks. My kids are 5 & 8. Awesome skates they love them

Robert:Thank you for your question regarding the Therapeutic Gel Toes. This is a "one size fits most" product. The product covers the foot up as far as the instep. So, the length of a size 12 foot would not be a problem. The width, however, might be. Some of our customers have reported that this product was too small for them. Unfortunately, this is the only size that we carry. If you decide to order the Gel Toes, and they prove to be too small for you, we will offer you a full refund.I hope this helps answer your question.Philip

Yes, I have plantar fasciitis, and have used these (in this type, and also the smaller one for shoes and PF) in all my shoes for over a year. I have flat feet. I also find that shoes with negative heels, like Earth brand shoes are helpful, as they help stretch the arch. I used to wear harder bottomed shoes, like birkenstocks, but these have eliminated about 90% of my pain. I walk on a treadmill 6x per week, for about an hour. I highly recommend these inserts.

Rose with Pedag USA: Yes, Bambini's arch support will help gently control your child's over-pronation and enourage neutral alignment. Your child's shoe size is how you buy Bambini. It looks like you will need a Toddler 9.5/10, EU 26/27 unless your child has grown into another size since you posted this question-the next size up is Toddler 10.5/11, EU 28/29.

I would suggest that you do. There's no way to estimate how long one would last for you; it all depends on how big your bunion is, how much friction there is in your shoe, and if you have any other abnormalities with your feet. I do enough running that I definitely need more than one on hand at all times. Why don't you try one first, prior to ordering multiples?

Hi Charles, I purchased the Orthaheel 3/4 length insoles. I feel they are a little soft for me, so maybe you would like something firmer. I have a pair of Birkinstock 3/4 insoles and they are very firm. I would get them again. Best wishes, Elva Curley

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.

My twins girls are 7 and on the small side. They normally wear size 12 - 12 and a half. We purchased size 13 for them and they fit them fine. They probably run a little smaller than, but pretty much true to size. If you want a little leeway for growth, it wouldn't hurt to order 1 size larger than their usual shoe size. I hope this helps you out a little!

I purchased the next size up from my child shoe size and they both fit great and they were able to wear them for a while. Definitely go a little bigger cause you are able to tighten them with the strap around the ankle. Hope that helps :)

I take a man's size 9 shoe and I bought a medium plantar fasciitis brace. My wife tells me that she thinks a woman's size 10 would be about a man's size 8. The medium seems about right for me so I suspect that you would need a medium as well. However, my advice would be to go the the manufacturer's web site and ask them for a recommendation. The braces really help so it is worth any extra effort it requires to get the correct size. It took less than a week to give me almost total relief.

I wish I could help you better - I bought this for my niece last year. She was also 3 at the time. They are play shoes and were a little big for her - but that did not matter - she loved them. I think you would be fine - the great thing about Amazon is the no hassle return policy. They are fun shoes for "dress up" play.

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 think there is another brand that might work better for little toes. I don't remember the name though, sorry. But it is one I gave a negative review to... ;) Keep searching, you may find one. Eventually everything ends up on Amazon!
