scooby_simon, try Algeos, noticed they have a paediatric section http://www.algeos.com/acatalog/Pediatric_Orthotics.html I have achilles problems and my orthopaedic consultant told me to get a night splint I got it from there, fast service, reasonable price, worth a look. I suspect my son needs orthotics too I was talking to my physio about it the other day I am going to get him checked.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

scooby_simon, i would avoid the gel pads and look at something a little more structured, superfeet blue of black insert should fit into all his shoes...what was the problem?? most achillies problems in children are around the growth plate, a gel pad may lift the foot and take some of the strain away but it will not stabilise the foot and help the problem (treats the symptoms not the problem)

CEM, Yep; it is around the growth plate; pressure on the back of the heel is painful.

severs or calcaleal apothicites, seperation of the growth plate from the main porttion of the heel bone,(internet diagnosis based on what i see frequently) support it well, reduce the sport for a whileand it will heal in a bit, tends to be self limiting ...guess he is 12-14 years old then??

ok so on the young end of the spectrum where it can happen, get him on a pair of the superfeet blue off the shelf insert, it will give a good level of support and help with the recovery, you won't stop him running about but you can reduce the amount and help with the support
you can get them form most outdoor or ski shops make sure they are sized up properly
