    I should think so, yes.
    See link
    http://hypermobility.org/help-advice/physio-and-occupational-therapy/supports-orthotics/

    Your podiatrist/ orthotist will be able to test for hypermobility of ankle joint etc if you talk to them about either your suspicion that you have it or indeed if you have previously been diagnosed with a mild form you should talk to your podiatrist/orthotist about it. A physiotherapist can also test for hypermobility. It would also show up in blood work, so you could ask your GP to get a blood test.

    Okay - its just in your previous post it reads as if you are saying that you have very mild hypermobility but hospital did/didn't (?) pick anything up . In that case you should perhaps follow the advice in my previous post - talk to podiatrist/ orthotist or physio about your concerns/ suspicion or ask for GP to run some blood work.

    According to the link I sent before. Hypermobile individuals will commonly present with flat foot. Take a look at this http://hypermobility.org/help-advice/physio-and-occupational-therapy/supports-orthotics/

    Would be best to talk to your orthotist or physio to get assessment or go to GP and ask for a blood test for it, as if you have hypermobility certain markers will be present in your blood work

    Hope that helps. Let us know how you get on.

    I should think they will be fine in the heat. I have worn trainer boots and lycra splints in the Florida sun, so I should think high stability piedro boots will be fine in the heat however reinforced they are.
