Please see the previous blog comments for some insights into arch control options for children...
SNEAKERS/TENNIS SHOES - SKECHER SPORT ENERGY:
Has a thick, rigid sole with a removable insole that can be replaced by a custom-molded insert of and over-the-counter insert. It also has good rear-foot control.
Cost: $59.99
Rating: Seven to Eight Toe's. (On a scale of Zero-Toe's "Arch Enemy" to Ten Toe's "Foot Friendly").
SNEAKERS/TENNIS SHOES - RED BY MARC-ECKO-PHRANZ-PHLUTTER:
This shoe has rigid-midfoot control although it does have some bend at the forefoot area. No arch control.
Cost: $49.99
Rating: Six Toe's.
SNEAKERS/TENNIS SHOE - SKECHER GIRL - PREMIUM - HEARTBREAKER:
This is a white and silver sneaker with some slight flexibility to the sole but it is not such an issue because there is a curvature to the bottom of the shoe in the forefoot area to accommodate for this during gait.
Cost: $39.99
Rating: Seven to Eight Toe's.
DRESS SANDAL - BUSTER BROWN - VANESSA (WHITE):
This sandal has a rigid sole (although no arch support) with forefoot and rearfoot ankle straps that will help biomechanically control the foot.
Cost: $26.99
Rating: Seven to Eight Toe's.
SNEAKER SKATES - HEELY'S HURRICANE:
I am a little torn about recommending this shoe. This sneaker has pop out roller skates so if you have an accident-prone kid, this might not be the right shoe. Ignoring the roller skate part of the the shoe, this is a great shoe due to it's rigid-sole. It does have a removable insole that can be replaced with a CMO or OTC insert for arch support. If your child does get this shoe - tell them to tie the laces and put on a helmet!
Cost: I forgot to write it down...
Rating: Seven to Eight Toe's.
Sandals? I didn't see any that I would particularly recommend. I'll keep looking...
