Have been using these braces for my son for almost a year. He is fully mobile now (2 years old) and the doctor mentioned that this won’t change his feet shape or anything (he is flat footed). Contd.

Ok. Before kids I was an active runner. Loved the runners high. I read articles like this. https://www.runnersworld.com/health-injuries/a20077003/pronation/. My high school coach a former USC football player reminded me that many marathon runners from Africa had flat feet. My generation was told old tales of people being denied military service for flat feet. Now a bit older I don’t run for other health reasons. My trainer hates my gait for over pronation and I do have to adjust my feet for deadlifts etc. it does make a difference when lifting 2x times body weight. My feet have not ruined my life. They are merely a part of it.

On the other side of the equation my mom fought high arches falling her whole life and severely clubbed feet which her parents got corrected with a ton of work. My brother in law was similar and not so lucky in the correction and is no almost unable to walk and candidly so depressed he has all but given up on life.

This is just my story. I’m no medical doctor and I have no idea what you’re going through but make a decision and don’t look back. To me it sounds like you have a tough decision. Parenting is full of hard choices. I hope this is your hardest.

Wife and I are contemplating whether to continue or not. I would prefer to let his feet free. Has anyone been in the same boat before? Your opinion will be of great help.

Confused I am flat footed. What is the problem?

I am confused too. They suggested these bracelets. I don’t want to use if they absolutely aren’t necessary

It’s actually pronation

Thank you for your perspective and examples P1. I’ve made up my mind to slowly phase out usage. Will see how it goes. Really appreciate your help. Thank you again!

My son had those for pronation. Wore for about a year (2 fittings) and then we stopped. He was probably 2.5 when we stopped.

Am I crazy?
