Having flat feet and trying to buy shoes is a nightmare. I'm there like:"who needs arch support when your arch doesn't exist!"
ha! we feel you there. Don't feel discouraged!
same =/
melmeister_ ii other day in store as always hate when the pronation pops out on inside .. Forever learning about how to manage my shoe shopping with these quackers
arch support is for those who dont have arches.
Rafiullah Khattak no it is not. Arch support is for high arches that need support to stay up
the title of the video was "Running Shoes for Flat Feet" but u didnt recomend any
After lots of searching and browsing the internet, I have come to the conclusion that the best available option in the market for flat-footed people are the Asics Gel Kayano 25 and the GT series of shoes. They also provide standard, wide and extra wide versions.
The suggestions to strengthen your flat feel/fallen arches should be approached with great caution! Before doing any of these, I would certainly ask my podiatrist or orthopedic doc! I actually pulled my right posterior tibial tendon doing an in place jog without any foot support! It's taken over a year to heal and I'm very cautious of NOT going without arch support, even when walking around the house. My podiatrist has told me never to walk barefooted or without support shoes/orthotics. Also, walking on uneven surfaces, like a rocky trail or even at the beach can be very hard on those of us with flat feet. I'm not saying that these ideas are bad for everyone with pronation issues, but having suffered all of my life with fallen arches, which has led to heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, PTTD flexor tendon transfer surgery and large toe joint surgery has made me quite aware of what to do and not to do. Don't EVER go away without your custom made orthoses! Forgetting mine has cost me a great deal of issues with pain!
Thank you very much, coming from a flat feet guy trying to run and finding the right shoes
As a pronating runner I find the Saucony Kinvara perfect. Smooth 4mm drop, completely neutral arch but with a nice wide and therefore stable platform.
Great video. My feet have always been an issue. I'm going to try this
Thank you so much!
Great tips.
Flat feet here too, but we have to work with what we got. For sure, very helpful.
Some people are just born with flat feet. I've had them my entire life and so does my dad and grandfather.. There is nothing I could do that will add an arch to my foot
Surgery
Brendan Clune if you get surgery they say your gonna need to basically learn to walk again
I hear ya!!!That does not mean we cannot do some exercises focused on strengthening our feet. Trying to get the right shoe is nice IF we find one but when I started doing some ankle and foot exercises my pain lessened. It is possible to "defeat the feet" problems. I want an easy fix, I'd prefer just to buy a shoe and "go"
I myself found ONE shoe that offered support without feeling too stiff. La Sportiva Wildcat 2.0 gtx. They are still available I am on my fourth pair.
Surgery I got my consultation in 2 weeks. And no u don’t have to learn to walk again that’s cap
Same here, I was born with flat feet and so was my mom. But I just wear arch support insoles that my physical therapist recommended to me and they work great. The brand is called Sole and I use the active medium met pad. You just put them in your shoe and they prevent your arch from flattening. And I also run in a stability shoe since flat feet is basically max level of overpronation. I need all the stability I can get 😂
I "run" into this problem as well.
This was super useful information! I have quite flat fleet, but I'm also a big advocate for barefoot activities. I never thought that overly supportive shoes could hamper my improvement!
OMG... it just clicked for me as you said screw your feet in the ground!! I feel more stable standing up, like someone is holding me in place. Thanks a lot!!
My lifestyle is Japanese. Meaning that wearing shoes outside and taking them off are my cultural adaptations I made for myself. But coming to this video made me think and reflect; I do have a flat foot, I tried many ways to strengthen my foot and legs. Like running with zero drop shoes, switching with motion control shoes for easy runs. I'm also trying to walking in different foot positions, willing to strengthen my own foot. This coronavirus lockdown, I am always trying to improving myself without being too intense for fitness. Living in the midtown district in NYC full of homeless people, drug dealers, and less businesses currently. Its hard for me to run to other places like Central Park to changing running surfaces. Not the cleanliness but people and authority. Running for me currently is challenging but also a flat footed problems.
Any improvements?
I like that your advice is to build foot and leg strength and improve posture, rather than layer more and more shoe over your feet as a fix. Personally my arches used to be much lower but after several years of running in vibram five fingers ( I started with Nike Frees) my arch actually rose significantly. I can only assume this has to do with ground feel, running gait adjustments that my body made over time when my shoe had little to no support. When I first got fitted for running shoes they said I needed a stability model, but again, after the more 'barefoot' running, stores told me I would do best in neutral shoes.
I switched to Altra and try to walk around in low drop shoes and never looked back. Haven't had any injuries since.
I'm going to try this. My feet have always been an issue. Great video.
This video is great, thank you. I’ve always been flat footed even as a child, my son is the same. I’ve recently moved to zero drop running shoes but I’m getting real pain in my posterior tibial tendon (which helps support the arch). Would you recommend trying your drills and will this help the tendon? Thank you so much 😊
Didn't expect this video to be that good and that thorough. Good job man. Just yesterday I bought my first pair of barefoot 5mm sandals. I can already feel my arches working harder! It feels amazing. I have serious over pronation and knee problems which limit me on a daily basis :/ I'm hoping on running with these barefoot sandals and get stronger and healthier. Thank you for being an inspiration!
Any difference in your arch?
@@Rmon_34 lol you?
I know this is an older video. But, it makes so much sense to me. I have worn extreme motion control leather shoes for over 20 years. I thought they were great because I could walk again after an injury. I have very flat feet also. So, I kept wearing them. Well this year they finally quit making them. Trying to find shoes has been a nightmare. I have purchased over 12 pairs and have had to send them back. I finally purchased a couple of Brooks neutral shoes. I started to think maybe I need something to strengthen my feet and not have so much control. Slowly, slowly, I am gaining some control of my feet with no pain. My feet also affect my back, so I was worried that I would have problems there too. But so far, going slowly, seems to be helping. So your video kind of affirmed what I have been thinking.
thank you for this video. got flat foot.
jumping rope seems very good idea back again.
Really informative video. Thank you
Awesome! Didn’t know I could change foot strength!
I hate my flat feet
Embrace the opportunity to work with them and improve your ankle mobility! Always room for improvement here :)
Me too, I like so many shoes that I would like to buy but that are for neutral feet
you can always get orthotic soles, i did
Art Cisneros be happy you have feet lol
me too on my 5th attempt at running shoes. feel like giving up. Running has destroyed my arches now nothing feels good on my feet
I have flat feet and I recommend the adidas sonic drive boost
like the advice about twisting your foot in. it does raise your arch. excellent advice dwd....
Really because I'm known to be the guy that always has his shoes off. I'm insanely flat-footed. I'm also a runner.
me too and have been criticized for it alot , i read comments below , most of the ppl who lacked arch liked to b barefoot i think its the reason we feel better barefoot , i have also read its better to b barefoot for flatfeet , it gives it more strength .
If you don't wear shoes at home and your floors are hard it will make flat feet worse or cause it.
Its genetic
@@seheadhunter50 for real? I only use my shoes when going outside, indoors i'm barefoot
Exactly, Nothing to do with "letting your feet develop". You should have the arch-iest feet in the world
Cool video... The more I learn about my feet, the more confused that I become. I have flat, wide feet and I am not really pigeon toed, but I am enough such that I walk on the outside of my feet and have been classified as a supinator/under pronator.
Here is where it gets tricky... I ruptured both of my achilles a bazillion years ago so I know much of my leg stress is from that plus the extra weight.
I have been walking/running in Asics Gel Nimbus for the last however many years and just found out recently that those shoes are classified as high arch. This has me wondering if their arch support system is preventing my feet from doing the natural arch roll/collapse... Hmmmm...
This sucks as I finally thought I understood that I needed a neutral running shoe and now I am back at step 1... Sigh....
I will do some more research . Thanks for sharing your experience.
I am wearing Nike Dynamic Support and feeling comfortable.
Kudos for not including repetitive background music. Often that is annoying and looses viewers. You get the like and subscription
I also shift my body weight a bit towards the front doing this. It works.
I was born with Flat feet but it was not identified until I was 14 years old. I was also obese at this time. Doctors suggested not to run nor to engage actively in any sort of sport, and prescribed arch support for the rest of my life. I've used them for about 4-5 years but lost hope that they would correct my arch, as any shock would have led to the pain in my left knee even with orthotics. However, in the recent times to control my weight I've started running outside/on treadmill as any normal person would do. As I've started shedding some pounds, noticed that I don't feel that weird pain anymore. Also, I think yoga stretches helped much in relaxing the tensed joints around exterior knee.
I have been bare foot for most of my life, and my feet are completely flat...
Iliana Smith me too. I was really disappointed when he said that flat feet are feet that had no chance to strengthen. I was born with flat feet.
some people, like me have had flat feet from pretty much the moment we could walk. That doesn't mean the above won't help, but it will not fix your flat feet entirely. Nor does it need to, you can run just fine with adequately trained leg and ankles that have proper training to support your feet. Like he said pronation is natural, but overpronation is what is known as flat feet. Any lessening of the overpronation will help and if all else fails you have trained your legs a bit more.
hmm
Maybe not an exact science but a popular held belief
If you walk barefoot on hard surfaces it will make it worse.
I used to strengthen my arch by changing my posture and standing on the toes area. After a year my confidence went down and I started neglecting my feet. I didn’t know you get change your arch
THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO! What a breath of fresh air from all those damned "look at this cool shoe in my hand-it's got bells and whistles we're reading from a list, we recommend them, buy them from our affiliate links because we're trying hard to hide the fact that we don't have flat feet in the first place…"
I have flat feet, and when I started to walk barefoot ONLY around the house (to develop strength etc.), I started to experienced Plantar Fasciitis. I have had PF for more than a year now, and doing everything I can to reverse it. All this to say that - his advice is not for everybody. This advice has ruined my exercise/sports life for the last 1.5 years.
Point your feet down and put something in between all of your toes
I love exercising a lot but my flat feet are ruining my life . I just reached 30 and i feel it now all over my lower body.
How often do you walk barefoot during your day? By strengthening your feet your flat feet will get stronger. Try to spend at least 1 hour a day barefoot and increase it as your feet get stronger. Flatter shoes will also help increase your foot strength.
Just bought Ghost 11's with curex low profile. feels very strange not having as much pressure on the ground but we'll see how it works out
I've gone the "tough love" route for years and while I seem to have developed an arch compared to my adolescent years, now at 32 I've also developed chronic knee pain (for 5 years) which has been associated with my flat feet. I don't want to be in pain or unable to be active at such a young age or cause more damage for later on. What type of shoe would you advise me to wear? or any advice really.
You didnt advice what kind of shoes to wear.
a good article speaking about stability running shoes that may lead you to decide what shoe to buy can be read here: runningshoesgeek.blogspot.com/2019/05/best-stability-running-shoes.html
More arch support the flatter your feet, but also don't rely on support too much. Train barefoot to strengthen the feet though, because constantly running with ample arch support can lead to other issues. If you don't have a lot of arch, your feet and legs aren't absorbing the impact of constantly hitting the ground very well. You need the right kind of shoe to enable your foot to impact safely, but you don't want to rely to heavily on that shoe because it can only do so much to help. 👍 buy and wear running shoes/casual shoes that match your arch
He’s not the expert. For running we need a medial (inner side) shoe support. We need stability shoes. Different brands offer different shoes for it but all agree on medial arch support. I prefer ASICS
Besides there are some exercises you can perform to strengthen you feet muscles, relying on insoles can further deteriorate the condition, but are important if you develop symptoms. I.e. of plantar fasciitis.
Flat footed people have frequent foot twisting injuries and I am one of them. So the foot becomes unstable. The sooner you start treating it the better
hey
Actually I have very low arch on my right foot
so can u please recommend me any pair of shoes.
how about Asics kayano 23 or Nike lunarglide 8?
Can you give us some arch exercises to do. Thank you.
Some of us who have been running for more than 40 years do NOT need any support. We rip the arches out of our shoes, we cut the midsoles, we drill through to the soles, and we are just looking for one shoe that provides absolutely no zero arch and good cushioning. Is that so much to ask?
So, can minimalist shoes help correct fallen arches?
Thanks for the shoe recommendation......
great advise man
Unfortunately being barefoot in the house my whole life hasn't helped my flat footedness. I think I might need the support whenever I run at this point since my ankle pain has gotten worse
great video thank you :)
I have flat feet and when I wear any type of shoes...the shape of the shoes😣😣
Does the Nike air zoom evidence 3 is good for flat feet??reply fast please
My feet are exactly flat. But I can ran 47k. The funny thing was on that day I accidentally put to insoles in my right foot and none in the left. I did not realize until the end of it. I think I'm going to give them up.
Same nick I have flat feet and I run and stuff
What kind of shoes do you use? Stabilize or no?
Do you have a similar video for very high arch runners?
Here on the gulf coast in the southeast usa. Cheap flip flops and bare feet most year has the majority of the population here with a wider flatter foot. P.s. I've worked at different running stores and seen statistics of shoes sold. In the north more neutral shoes are sold, in the south more stability. I take it as cool weather causes people to wear more supportive shoes longer through the year and the warm weather promotes bare feet and flat cheap flops. Support in shoes warn in the north helps the arch stay hight. Lack of wearing shoes in the south promotes a flat foot to distribute the weight and pressure points from the ground. Genetics is also part of it, I have seen this from fitting families.
Yet the best sprinters have flat feet and bow legs.
I broke both feet in 2020 running with flat feet. I'm not a runner, just happened to have gained speed at least twice. Both instances resulted in broke feet.
Any shoe suggestions for being able to manage a trot at least?
I was told that I have a mid arch and am considered semi flat, so what would u guys recommend?
I got flat feets, i have run 21.5 km, now these days i run 10 km, i wear saucony ride, and nike pegasus...best choice for my flat feets, wearing these shoes transforming myself into a porsche ;-)
I have a flat foot but i don't if it's serious or not .I'm also having bake pane and leg pain on my right leg while running. Should I do something?
Good advice. I run in sandals and thought you were going to give advice for more padding, yadda, yadda, yadda. But no, good advice.
I need help approx. 5 years ago i could run well with combat boots i didnt feel to much pain. but now wearing runners my feet hurts like hell i dont get it combat boots are not by any means better in terms of comfort than a nike or adidas runner. any idea?
What's the distinction (if any) between shoes for running versus walking?
I want altra one are they stability shoes. I have pronated ankles
buying shoes for flat feet is nightmare. buying shoes for flat feet in size 48/49 is almost impossible!! so far the best i found are the asics kayano 25. (i still use my custom orthotics) cannot find any good trail runners though, any suggestions.
So, how much distance a day, can be run with this type of shoes?
Would 5 km. be ok?
You suggest flexible shoes to help the foot develop strength. But you also say that we should not run long distances in these flexible shoes (i.e. Altra One 2.5). So if we want to run longer distances, what type of shoe do you recommend? Newton Distance; Saucony Ride, etc. Would appreciate your thoughts so I know what direction to go for marathon running.
gary146472 same question!
gary146472 hi there! While ultimately the brand choice will be up to you, our main point here is that the shoe shouldn't be what carries you through any distance. Strong, sustainable run form and strong legs and hips will serve you well through many miles. I'd say for anything over an hour of running, find something with more cushioning but not so much so that you can't feel how your foot is striking. Find your best local running store to help you with the final pick!
You better consult at a running store with a specialist. First: They can analyze your feet and the gait and second they can offer suitable shoes for you. Any major running shoe brand (Asics, Mizuno, Adidas, Nike, Saucony, New Balance) may be good. Reebok and others are not quality running shous. (Imho, reebok are very crap running shoes and I do not know about any local store that would recommend them). You won't find a specialized answer for youvon youtube. Visit a local running store.
Try running barefoot or with barefoot sandals/shoes. Strengthen your arches with towel exercise/ standing on one leg and twisting. Strengthen your glutes, hamsrings and quads.
Arbel Barak any videos on how to do this
Hey, Thanks for the info, very interesting. I have really bad flat feet. I go jogging quite a bit I wouldn't say long distance but maybe a 20 min jog as I am a beginner, I also go mountain walking quite a bit. Regardless of running or trekking I always get really bed lower leg aches, they have been so severe in the past they have woken me up during the night, its usually the lateral side of my shin that hurts the most. I recently bought flat flexible running shoes but I'm not sure if they are any good. I had a pair of Asics before them but they were really stiff and had a really thick sole and also made my run very uncomfortable. I fear running now because it just does more harm than good. Could you recommend a good pair of shoes that would provide support for my flat feet but also for my running. should they be lightweight or flexible at all ??
Hey check this video out because it all starts with the runner, not the shoe. ua-cam.com/video/FYyIXX0h3i0/v-deo.html Also try rotating between a couple pairs of shoes for best results. Your local running store should have some good rec's!
I feel like I have the flattest 5E feet ever but have been lucky that it hasn't kept me from running. On the screwing your feet technique, is that done while walking AND standing? Also, do we screw our feet out or in? I would think in.
When standing think of screwing them outward, starting rotation from the top of the hip.
I have flat feet at 61 years old due to severe arthritis - even had to have my left ankle fused. Good shoes with arch support and motion control is essential to me still being able to run. In my case, the shoe has to provided most of the support. Sucks, but that's the way it is. What is the best shoe for me still being able to run?
Hard to recommend an exact type without seeing you run. You might check in with a local running store or even the folks at Running Warehouse. They really break down the shoes and tell you what will and won't work for you.
Any advice for strengthing foot if you have plantar fasciitis (sry if spelt wrong), since you reccomend going bare foot at home or whenever you can but I heard thats really bad if you have this. But I feel I should strengthen my feet since I just got into running and am motivated and want to keep going! Any adive will be greatly appreciated
Great video. I am 40 years old and I have very flat feet however I have worn orthotics for over 20 years. I would love to run however I'm not sure what sneakers I should get. I always try my sneakers with my orthotics. Any suggestions on a good running sneaker for me? Looking for urgent advise as spring is coming.
Hey John! I'd give these videos a look and from there go to your local, trusted running store and have them take a look at what's going on. We recommend rotating between a few pairs, to keep your feet and body from creating any bad "default" habits. ua-cam.com/video/NpIHv09hWR0/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/7Ox-4cLS8Gk/v-deo.html
John Torres Nike's Lunarglide shoes have been great for me. I suggest looking into those, they give a good deal of support and are very light as well!
Best advise!
Flat feet and over pronation. Got a solution for that?
I have very flat feet and have tried lots of supportive running shoes on the advice of s specialist running shop. Also i am doing foot strength training. How long can it take for foot to get strong enough to wear footware comfortably again?
Probably at least a month or two before you see it all start to pay off :)
I got plantar fasciitis on both feet because of poor shoes an flat feet I can go bare foot on the ground but I have always had flat feet, I do wear Vionic inserts for any shoe I wear saved my feet
Any shoe suggestion for wide neutral feet?
With the raft of corrective and stability shoes, how do you get the right shoe for a runner who pronates. IE..Brooks Ravenna has good support, but so bows the Asics 2000, or the Saucony Guide, also there is the Brooks Adrenaline, with even more correctivity, or then Saucony Hurricane. Any suggestions other than trial and error, and costing America a fortune? All suggestions welcome. Thnk You.
We totally understand how many options there are out there! Everyone is different - we suggest rotating through a couple different pairs (2-3) between runs so that you never get used to any one shoe. Your legs and feet should be focused on doing the work (making the right foot strike, helping to maintain strong posture, etc). The shoe shouldn't be taking all of the responsibility. Hope this helps!
I have 1 (one) flat foot. The other is low arch. Getting shoes is a nightmare
Its okay if i run 5-8 kms per day. But whenever i try to go beyond that, i get pain in my ankle or heel section. Not sure how to tackle my flat foot problem without going for an arch support shoe. I have been doing a lots of exercises to strengthen my ankle area for a while now, but i can't seem to increase the distance while running.
Are you doing any mobility work in between your runs? Any strength work?
I do lots of stretching before and after the runs (few of them specific to my flat foot problem which i got from several youtube channels), and i also do some squats after every 2 days.
I have flat feet Iwant to buy shoes from reebok Market but I don't know which one is better..can you help me
Barefoot jump roping? I just want to make sure. I listened twice and I'm still not sure if you meant barefoot hops and then shoes with the rope. Thanks!
Jumprope how you normally would but try doing it without shoes (maybe find some grass).
Would this explain why I can't walk in heels... Sorry bit off topic
I try to wear my converse more because they have low support but they cause knee pain, should i just tough it out? P.s. walking barefoot doesnt hurt
Hmm, knee pain is no good! Maybe shoes aren't the issue (or maybe they are a contributor!) and you could up your strength training. Lots of good ideas here on the channel!
I started running about 3 years ago. All my life I have had very bad foot pain and very flat feet. The only way I was able to run 3 years ago was by wearing Vibram Toe Shoes. I have been wearing them since and I have 0 foot pain. The problem I have - aside from wearing goofy looking shoes is I hate running in the rain because my feet get soaking wet and I end up running in what feels like wet socks. I have tried so many different shoe type but the foot pain I had comes back.
Hi Sawyer! Sorry to hear you've had to jump through so many hoops. Check out the video we did on Barefoot Running Injuries too! It's on our channel. A lot of the time it's the weakness in the feet....not the shoes!
I just watched that. I have run 8-9 half marathons (very slowly) with toe shoes but what I want is a pair of shoes that dont hurt my feet and are as flat as that but that I can run in in winter.
One of our coaches likes the Brooks PureGrit 4 for winter running!
I think you would love Altra shoes. Give them a try. Also Xero shoes. They have great minimalist shoes.
I don't understand,I've always had flat feet I do a lot and they are level with the ground
I have flat feet😔
Youre not the only one i have flat feet too
It is curse
Hi I had so much problem with my flat feet. Actually, I really wanna go jogging with friends go to gym, but I had problems when choosing shoes.
Hopefully this helped!
hi
my name is Siddhant
n I m also flat feeted
recently I've bought Nike revolution 3 I found some pain in my ankles after running 1 kilometres and my feet actually rolling towards arches while running
is Nike revolution 3 is good for flat feeted pls suggest me
should i stop using these shoes????
Hey there! If the shoes aren't feeling great, then they could be part of the problem. However, it's important to pay most attention to HOW you're running, because at the end of the day WE are responsible for how we run. Take a look at this video as well: ua-cam.com/video/Rt9hgtFzZk0/v-deo.html We will also be releasing a new foot strike video soon!
I want this shoes how can I get?
The problem is that my son has lots of pain. So what would be the best trainer for him? He suffers with lots of pain.so a flat feet shoes would be best ? No specific insoles?.thanks.
Hey there! The best option is always to head to a local running store where a trained employee will be able to analyze his feet and gait and make recommendations from there
Guys flatfeet is not that bad in functionality , many top athletes sports men are FF just to give i example Shoeb akhtar fastest bowler in cricket till today was FF and i was fastest among my friends and i had some FF , i have read it helps to run faster then normal people bcz the contact on ground is more stable that pushes u , the only problem i always had is buying and wearing shoes for long , usualy my shoes will suffer more as they will go out of shape from bottom sole , will have more friction inwards , otherwise its not problem , actually FF are symptom of back instability and SI joint inominate imbalance that transfers below and makes ur leg short or twist knee which twists ur feet below , it can be fixed in most cases unless u have true short leg which is very very rare. go to Physio therapist
I have one foot which has an arch and the other foot which is flat
What about over pronators? I have been diagnosed with prosterior tibial tendonitis and the physio and padiatrist recomend of the shelf inserts and motion control shoes. Brooks (Beast16) would like your input for that kind of senario.
Kind regards
Kyle Leeming
Hey Kyle! Good question. I might go to the root of the problem. Try including some single leg balance/strength work in your routine. This will highlight your weak spots and give you some opportunity for focus on those areas. Overpronation can be a direct result of weak adductors, for example.
Same thing, flat feet with overpronation. Anyone that really understands flat feet knows that overpronation is a consequence. I say really understands it, and don’t go out saying that we have flat feet because we didn’t allow our feet to strengthen.
Luiz Felipe Ungericht i dont understand what said but would like to if can explain.. I think i agree with You more than him cause everyones always trying to be the answer to someones problem.. But i do appreciate any ideas on my flat feet as is a exercise in my understanding of them.. But see doublespeak going on in flat feet consumerism .. On this side and other and well shoe tech in general dont hear alot about.. And im into sneakers. sorry to channel i seem a real ballbuster
hey man I've got to the point where I can't run or go for a long walk at the mall without my feet aching. I have flat feet and I bought high arch soles for my work boots. That seemed to fix the problem. Am I doing more harm than good. Also was looking into ultra boost...want to start running again but I can't even walk for over a couple hrs with out my feet hurting or feel sore the next day; sore heel sore ball from side to side. Will ultra boost fox my problem at least to walk in all day?
You should check out our beginner running program: therunexperience.com/training-plans/beginner-running It also sounds like you need to start including some mobility and stretch work in your daily routine. Feet need to be stretched and moved just as much as anything else. Unfortunately we can't always jump to a quick fix like shoe inserts, though those can work great in combination with other self-maintenance on the body.
Wearing boost shoes along with a support insole has really helped my feet not ache and they are extremely flat
ben stone what shoes do you suggest and if i get the flat foot running shoes, should I also include them with insoles? i really need help with this.
Moe Zakzouk Not sure I don’t run but I’d assume u’de need to test it based on how bad ur arches r
Inserts/orthotics without arch strengthening/mobility will eventually make more harm than good yes. It's just like sitting on a wheelchair.
Any thoughts about reebok nano 6's? I'm thinking of getting those for my flat feet. Is it good for light running? Thanks.
We like those, yes! Definitely a good option for your shorter runs :)
Thanks !!! you have a great day
Can i wear adidas arztek if im having flat feet
My left foot is flat. What can I do?
I have flat feet. my feet hurt after standing for long periods of time or walking.
I was wondering if you recommend casual shoes or sneakers for everyday walking? Or could I wear running shoes? I hear running shoes aren't good for walking because they're more flexible. but then I think this was old information and here have changed over the time. running shoes have more comfort/cushion for ground pounding. I am thinking about looking into ultra boost, asic mens gel, and I'm hearing skeetchers memory foam are good.
Hey Dom! Good question. I'd check in with a running store and have them recommend a nice neutral shoe that can support you over the course of the day. Doesn't necessarily need to be a running shoe, and probably shouldn't be the same pair you run in?
Hello dom ...i am from the Netherlands in europe ...i had the same foot pain because of my flaat feet when standing and walking too since 5 years ago. I would cry from the pain ....The specialist recommended to put my right foot in gips for 6 week in order to give some rest for my foot pain as wel as to easen the pain .... really that helped me 75 procent of the pain was gone yet I had to adjust my special shoe soles arch that special made for me to put in my own shoes by letting the arch some how higher and using a good shoes that give enough support to the feet arches. ..From my own experiences ASICS WALKING SHOES are better than asics running shoes ...I noticed that running shoes brings the pain back again to my foot .....plus asics walking shoes was always the best for me......hope i could share my true experience with you....

What model of Asics shoes do you recommend for walking or running?
I tried the Gel Kayano 24 and it felt heavy plus i think it's meant for a heel striking runners while i'm a mid foot striking runner.
Flat foot is a nightmare :(

I use asics walking shoes model Gel-Odyssey WR - Sportive walking shoes. ...They are not heavy and very comfortable. ..Good luck
I gave up on supported shoes years ago for my flat feet.... no problems running in flat shoes .. everyone I know with flat feet that run with "support" complain all the time
I hate shopping for shoes it sucks I have to buy skate shoes because they are the only ones that I can wear that don’t have arches on them and the support for running and stuff is terrible my feet hurt so much after I’m done working out and stuff like that
Is the background from the San Francisco Bay Area?
Only a guy with flat feet should make such kind of videos. You don't have!
But if I walk or run in my normal shoes without orthotics I get shin splints.. because of reoccurring shin splints I got such expensive orthotics made.. but I still get shin splints with them
But less often in comparison to without orthotics
And I hv flat feet by birth..
