Summary

This three-year study tested whether wrestling shoes with built-in arch support can prevent flatfoot in adolescent male wrestlers. 88 boys aged 11 were randomly assigned to wear either arch-support shoes or standard wrestling shoes. Researchers checked foot shape and pressure each year. The goal was to see if the special shoes help maintain a healthy foot arch during a critical growth period.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Medial arch-support wrestling shoe
What this could lead to
If effective, these shoes could help prevent flatfoot in young wrestlers, reducing foot pain and deformities during development.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial in a specific group (adolescent male wrestlers). Results may not apply to other athletes or the general population.
