Kids’ Feet
Children’s Podiatry in Wagga & Wodonga
Introduction
Children’s feet grow and change quickly — but foot pain, limping, or unusual walking patterns aren’t always “just growing pains.” At The Foot Clinics Wagga and Wodonga, our experienced podiatrists help children stay active, pain-free, and confident.
Families across the Riverina and North East Victoria trust us for everything from kids’ heel pain and flat feet to ingrown toenails, plantar warts, and sports injuries.

Complaints of sore heels, arches, or legs (often at night)
Shoes wearing unevenly or tilting inwards
In-toeing, flat feet, or toe-walking
Ingrown toenails or painful nails
Warts, blisters, or other skin spots on the feet
Early checks mean easier solutions. Book in Wagga or Wodonga today.
