    I wanted Podiatrists views on Kiddythotics from Algeos. Has anyone used them, and had any results.
    Thank you

    Its all depends on what you trying to achieve:

    - If they have the design features that deliver the prescription variables you need for an individual patient, then they are great.

    - If they don't have the design features that deliver the prescription variables you need for an individual patient, then they are useless.

    Yeah, what Craig says.

    Children are as variable if not more than adults feet. There is no one thing that fits all but often less is more.

    As above.

    Generally, in terms of tolerance, I find that children tolerate them well considering they are 3-4 mm thick polyprop. A lot of that, I think is due to not being particularly aggressive at the MLA and getting the increase in external supination moments through the so called medial heel skive(which is a bit MOSI-ish in appearance)

    I like them and use them regularly but only if the prescription variables suit
