What causes arch pain in five year olds? is there a way to alleviate the pain with special shoes or inserts? i believe her feet are flat..

Flat foot: Flat feet or bad shoes can cause such pain. Consult a foot doctor. Child may need a custom orthotic to support arch and reduce strain. Proper fitting shoes with arch rich support inside would do child well
