Overpronation happens when a child’s arches collapse with every step, causing the ankles to roll inward.
As kids grow and stay active, this inward rolling throws off the alignment of the knees, hips, and lower back — especially during running, jumping, and sports.
Without proper support, this constant misalignment can lead to pain, awkward walking, and increased strain throughout the body.
Here are some common signs parents notice in active, growing kids:
Ankles rolling inward when walking or running
Knock knees or inward leg alignment
Awkward or uneven walking pattern
Complaints of foot, knee, or leg pain after activity
How To Correct Overpronation as Kids Grow
When overpronation is left unaddressed, the inward ankle rolling often gets worse over time — especially as kids grow and stay active. Footstr are kids’ insoles designed to gently realign the foot and support proper alignment during everyday movement.
Developed with doctors, they’re worn inside regular shoes to help stop inward ankle rolling — without exercises, medication, or restricting natural movement.
