littleSTEPS are prefabricated foot orthoses designed specifically for children, with 11 sizes available to accommodate toddlers through to teenagers and smaller adult shoe sizes.
Their structured UCBL-style design includes a deep 30 mm heel cup, medial and lateral flanges, medial rearfoot posting and a medial skive. These features are designed to provide firm, contoured support and help improve rearfoot stability inside suitable footwear.
Unlike general cushioning insoles, littleSTEPS provide a more structured level of support. They may be considered when a healthcare professional has recommended a prefabricated orthotic rather than a custom-made device.

Place the child’s heel on the marked line and compare the foot with the coloured outlines. The orthotic should correspond with the foot length without extending beyond the toes.
For children with persistent pain, walking difficulties, significant foot-posture concerns or an existing diagnosis, seek advice from a podiatrist or other suitably qualified healthcare professional before use.
