No need to brace this
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Bracing at this age for flat feet is not going to useful. You can apply silicon insoles which are much softer and can be easily worn.They will help in heel pain also. I do not think hard brace is going to be of any advantage to you.

For cramps you need calcium and salt
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Cramps and pain in leg can be due to low salt and calcium in body. So you need to check your vitamin D and calcium level. Also take salt in your diet. I am not suggesting to remove brace. You just need to use a softer one. Very hard braces can cause heel pain specially in those who have spur. So take some soft silicone gel insole. Thanks
