The Pedipod is a unique pediatric device designed by HealthyStep.
Easy to fit in most sensible children’s shoe styles, the Pedipod gives immediate pain relief and stabilises children’s feet, but the best results are achieved when exercises are done to strengthen the feet and legs.
The Pedipod has been specifically designed for children’s feet reflecting their more mobile foot joints. These aren’t just undersized adult insoles. The Pedipod orthotic device captures abnormal foot motion and controls it while the foot grows and strengthens more naturally.

Additional information on the design features
The Pedipod has a deep heel cup, allowing a little more anti-pronatory control. This means added comfort and that feeling of being properly supported.
The midfoot ‘saddle’ is a contoured profile that improves dynamic function by reducing the amount and speed of pronation in the hindfoot of the child.
Under the first joint is a recess which allows the big toe to bend (dorsiflex) effectively when walking, making the gait more efficient.
