Product Features

The Cricket was developed especially for children with mild to moderate pronation and supination. Stability and alignment improvement come from a deep heel cup, well-defined plantar surface, and medial / lateral forefoot containment in combination with a stable outer foundation. The submalleolar UCBL trimline allows the orthosis to become enclosed entirely within a shoe.

Yes. It is designed to help manage flexible pronation and supination patterns by guiding the foot toward a more balanced position during gait.

No. It is a prefabricated Fast Fit product and does not require casting or scanning.

JumpStart Cricket provides stronger internal control, deeper heel stability, and more midfoot containment than a moderate-support insert, while still avoiding ankle restriction.

No. Its sub-malleolar trimlines are designed to support the foot without restricting natural ankle motion.

JumpStart Cricket is sized using the Fast Fit sizing system and is available in pediatric sizes.

It is a good option when moderate-support inserts are not enough, but an ankle-controlling orthosis is not yet needed.
