We fit the insoles to your child’s main sporting shoes, where they will be 100% effective. They can be transferred to other shoes, but may only be 90% or 95% effective. In almost every case, they do not need to be transferred - they work so well in your child’s predominant sporting shoe, they can wear their other shoes without the Solemaids & without Sever’s pain!

If your child's heel pain hasn't been diagnosed as Sever's, head to the 'Education' section of our page for a simple, quick, test you can do at home. If you're still unsure, please book a call with one of our team using the button at the top of the page.

Traditionally, this would have been your best course of action. However, unless the podiatry clinic is one of our Solemaids certified clinics - they will not have access to Solemaids & will not be able to achieve the same incredible results. We provide a guarantee that we will eliminate your child’s Sever’s pain, or your money back - you won’t find that sort of guarantee at a podiatry (or any other allied health) practise!

There will be an adjustment period while the foot gets used to the new insole, during which your child may experience some discomfort. Allow up to 6 weeks for the foot to completely get used to the insoles. After that period, there won't be any feelings of discomfort.
-
Yes! Your child will be able to do every single activity as normal, no need to modify or pull them out of anything.
-
Solemaids only need to be worn for a period of 6 months before they can be phased out of your child’s shoe. For the majority of children, they are able to go 6 months in their sporting shoes/boots without needing to get bigger ones! If their foot does grow substantially during that time & they go up a shoe size, they will require a larger pair of Solemaids.

To put it simply, it takes a long time for innovation in healthcare to be widely adopted. Our treatment, and the Solemaids insoles, is cutting edge & at the forefront of changing how Sever’s is treated. As a result, most practitioners view it with skepticism, some even with disbelief - meaning it will take a long time before it’s widely adopted.
