Flat feet is not curable. Those outlets like Sol****e attended my mostly foreign talent are not medically trained. I have spent close to $2K bcos DS, DD and DW all have flat feet :frustrated:
Both DD and DS have changed the custom orthotics twice bcoz their feet already outgrow the support size, with no improvement. What typically they will say is to encourage you to make 3rd pairs and that the children's feet are almost fixed. This is very misleading as flat feet is not curable, we were initially told it is curable if starts at young age. kept pushing so didn't really spend time to research. We didn't know that this is only a way to sell more supports in future, $$$. We can only manage the pain that is why the sole support is required. Not all flat feet needs sole support.
We just went to Orchard Clinic recently and been told all the above, and it is actually true. Better look for professional help. Not always necessarily required exp customized orthotic.
But the only different I got is that, I did not get the consultation $55 waived even though I have star-card. The cashier said that offer is no longer there. Anybody still get the $55 consultation fee waived after 20=Apr-2014 by showing star card??
