Insoles for Children's Shoes Designed for Growing Kids

During key stages of growth, children’s feet need support that allows natural movement while helping maintain balance, stability, and performance in school and sport.

Our approach focuses on strengthening feet over time rather than restricting them. Designed with adjustability and natural movement in mind, our insoles can support kids through daily wear, training, and competitive sport.

Kids Orthotics: A Word from David, G8 Founder

"I have three kids who have participated in athletics and soccer, with my youngest currently playing academy-level soccer and training several days each week. Each of my treasures has had foot pain at some stage. School shoes are a big part of the problem, and the antithesis of what I believe, especially while their feet are forming.

During the early stages of a child’s development, I want their feet to move as naturally as possible, so the muscles and ligaments can reach their full potential. When they start playing in sport-specific shoes I need to protect this freedom of movement as much as possible."

The Problem with School and Sports Shoes

Many modern shoes prioritise structure and durability, but this can sometimes limit natural foot function. As children grow, restricting movement may influence how muscles develop and how the body adapts to load and impact.

Supporting natural movement while wearing shoes helps maintain flexibility and encourages stronger foot mechanics.

For kids with shoe sizes between 33-37 (US 1 to 4), we recommend G8 Ignite insoles. Beyond US size 4, our G8 2620 insoles become advantageous for kids' shoes.

Balance and Stability for Active Kids

Whatever sport your child chooses, their feet are constantly working to stabilise movement and generate power. Quick pivots, jumps, acceleration, and controlled landings all rely on strong and responsive feet.

This is where G8 Performance insoles come in.

G8 Performance Pro Series 2620 insoles provide customisable arch support through flexible components that allow personalised adjustment as needs change.

2620 Insoles for Kids Beyond Size 37 (US 4)

The human foot is designed to move dynamically. Even well-designed sports shoes may influence how the foot functions over time.

The G8 2620s are built to allow movement within the shoe while supporting natural mechanics. Rather than limiting motion, they encourage controlled flexibility.

Key performance benefits include:

  • Adjustable arch pieces with multiple height options
  • Custom positioning for personalised fit
  • Support designed to reduce stress on joints


Encouraging natural movement inside footwear can help children maintain foot strength and overall stability.

Why Consider Insoles for Children's Shoes Even Without Pain

Supporting healthy foot function early can help maintain comfort, stability and performance as kids grow and stay active. Our insoles help support developing feet during sports and daily wear.

  • Encourage natural foot movement

    Support dynamic motion inside the shoe rather than restricting it, helping maintain natural biomechanics.

  • Support foot strength development

    Encourage the muscles in the feet to stay active to support long-term strength and resilience.

  • Improve balance and stability

    Enhanced proprioception can help kids maintain better control during movement and sport.

  • Support circulation during activity

    Designed to promote healthy blood flow, helping manage heat and fatigue during play.

  • Reduces pressure-related discomfort

    Can help minimise numbness or pressure points inside tighter sporting footwear.

Customisation That Grows With Your Child

G8 Performance 2620 insoles are fully adjustable. As feet change and develop, the level of support can be modified to match evolving needs. This allows parents to adjust the insole rather than replace it as frequently.

  • Improved force transfer during movement
  • Increased foot strength over time
  • Reduced load on calf and Achilles areas
  • Increased airflow and circulation support
  • Reduced incidence of toe and foot numbness

Supporting Long-Term Foot Performance

Unlike off-the-shelf orthotics, G8 insoles are built to support long-term foot health by encouraging natural function. Many 2620 users report increased performance and endurance over time.

Other full-foot benefits include:Ā 

  • Supporting the foot throughout the entire gait cycle
  • Enhancing stretch and strength within the foot
  • Maintaining bone structure
  • Facilitating a more natural way of moving
