I have been using the littleSTEPS™ insoles for some time now and find them to be the perfect balance between the affordability of a direct to physician, over the counter device, and the much more expensive custom products. Not only do my patients and their parents appreciate the low cost of the product compared to a custom device, they are immediately impressed at how efficacious the littleSTEPS™ are in relieving their children's symptoms. As a practitioner with many years of experience dealing with pediatric foot and ankle pathologies, it is refreshing to see a product like littleSTEPS™, that offers good quality support such as a deep heel cup, a rearfoot post, and high medial and lateral sides for better forefoot control in a non custom product. I would recommend this product to any parent looking for a reasonably priced and very supportive insole for their child.

As a pediatric specialist, and a member of the American College of Foot and Ankle Pediatrics, I have made it one of my career goals to be able to provide the best and most cost effective care for my pediatric flatfoot patients. Since 2010 this has been possible! I have been able to prescribe to kids pre-fabricated foot orthoses which deliver prescription-based correction closely matching the criteria of traditional UCBL devices. littleSTEPS™ have provided an affordable alternative to custom orthoses, enabling early intervention and treatment of many musculoskeletal conditions common to children. Before littleSTEPS™ I had often find myself resorting to costly custom pediatric foot orthoses simply because current over-the-counter pediatric devices failed to offer adequate correction. Unfortunately, throughout the world, as well as in the past in my practice, kids with developmental flat feet were left untreated due to the high costs associated with fabrication of custom foot orthoses and the lack of reimbursement. The 30mm heel cup has given me enough depth to stop insidious heel motion and calcaneovalgus that causes pain from things such as flat feet and severs disease. I have seen remarkable improvement in coordination, balance, pain, posture, and strength, with those I have dispensed it to. Overall littleSTEPS™ are an effective and affordable alternative to custom foot orthoses for my pediatric patients with same day dispensing! And now that size 6 and 7 are offered I can fit almost any kid that walks through my door with a functional device that will actually help them, and as a bonus, I have found the new bigger sizes are also helping my smaller adult size patients feet requiring all the features that a littleSTEPS™ orthotic provides.

As a mother and a physical therapist I became concerned when my child, Ava, began in-toeing significantly. By age three she was tripping over her own two feet. We followed up with an orthopedist and she was diagnosed with tibial torsion and hip anteversion. Despite the diagnoses, we were given little suggestion for treatment. After researching littleSTEPS™ orthotics, I fitted her using the printout from the website, ordered her size, and received them in the mail in less than three days! We noticed and immediate difference with the alignment of her legs, and most importantly with the decrease in scraped knees from falling. Ava loves her inserts, calls them her “cups” and wears them with pride. I am confident that I am helping my child achieve the best possible alignment during her development, all thanks to littleSTEPS™.
