It is quite common for children to intoe.

There are three main reasons why they can do it.

In this case the intoeing is coming from the hips.

So the hips are internally rotated and the entire leg is turning in.

This second case is coming only from the feet, so the feet only are turning in.

In the last case is where the ankles are leaning outwards and that is turning the feet.

This is from the ankles, this is from the foot and this is from the hips.

There are a few other reasons why the child can intoe as well but these are the three main types that we see here in the clinic.

Each one of these requires a different type of insole inside the shoe.

The insole inside the shoe in all three cases are very different to each other even if the intoeing all looks similar to an outsider.

So this is why it is very important to come in and have the podiatrist check which type of intoeing the child has.
