GP says my 3 year old has flat feet and needs special insoles. Help

[bosscat]

I noticed that occasionally ds2 has been limping and his ankles were turning in slightly. I took him to the GP who told me he had really flat feet and needed to wear shoes with special insoles. He said most good shoe shops offered a "flat feet service". do they really? Has anyone got any experience of this? Where should I go? I also have an appointment at the NHS in 8 weeks who can apparently prescribe me some but dh doesn't want to wait so asked me to ask MN.

can anyone help?

Prob a good idea to see a podiatrist who can create customised orthotics to correct your DS's probs.
