We cannot repair your flat feet, but these 8 shoes feel better

Flat footer of the world does not have to be reminded of how a flat foot quickly turns into a painful heel or affects Achilles. (And for everyone who has chronic pain, please consult a doctor before a sneaker story.) But flat feet do not have to get angry. If we were (humans) barefoot, flat footness was not necessarily a bad thing. Nowadays, with the way shoes are shaped, they want to do everything in their power to prevent them from succumbing to chronic overworking and all the symptoms they can accompany.

Here we tested sneakers and outside and always wanted to make sure that our feet do not fall into a longer bad positioning. At the moment, these eight sneakers are the best for general flat foot types. If you have existing problems, you may need something more specific, but for the general amount of us, they take into account our foot types.

We have some sneakers that are good to walk, some to walk and others to get away in the office. They are comfortable and well made and support where their Archlos feet need it the most.

Gel-Kayano 32

The ASICS GEL-KAYANO 30s are extremely convenient, and the shoes that we most often grab when our feet, paragraphs or shins feel particularly sore. They are soft under the feet, with a wide base and soft on the upper, with a thick, stretchy rope. You can certainly run in, but they are ideal for walking and standing. They are my best travel shoes to support my collapsed heels while walking and swollen feet flying.

Bondi 9

These Hoka gymnastics shoes are the ultra-flawed shoes of your life. Similar to the ASICS Kayano, they have a higher stacking height and a little less stretchy a rope top. They come in regular, wider and X-wide sizes that we appreciate for the inclusiveness of the foot-especially for all whose collapsed arches make their feet wider than they could otherwise be.

The Bondis pay attention to flat-footed argument, but they are not a panacea. (No single sneaker is for recording.) For certain foot problems, a podologist can recommend a higher drop in sales than the middle ground of the Bondi 5 mm. But for ordinary, flat feet without an active problem are great.

1906r

The 1906r from New Balance is gently for a soft foot strike. It feels soft on which ends up and spreads quickly and wide, so that no individual part of your foot carries the main load. This style has a super breathable Knit -Mesh upper material and a wide base, which makes it a sneaker that we do not wear anything to carry, go or get in for a long time

Air Max Alpha Trainer 6

Nikes Air Max Alpha Trainer 6 is a solid option for a training sneaker that is flat. It has a high drop in sales to avert the stress of low arches, and it has a lot of stability and absorption in the heel to keep it. It is stable and wide – a great option for lifting and HIIT.

XT PU.RE Advanced

So that a durable sneaker can be roughened outside, we always go to Salomon. For flat feet we go to the XT PU.RE Advanced Shoes, which have a very dramatic 12 -mm drop. You feel crazy with a mounted upper and foot-operating TPU cage around the midfoot. They are light, durable and built to be worn outside of things.

Cloudrunner 2

On the other hand, 10 mm is generally a good baseline for everyone whose flat feet turn it into plantar fasciitis. (The fall with higher heels forces a heel, often a useful mechanism for distracting arch pain.) The Cloudrunner 2 of ON for his illness -friendly heel drop, the easy design and the hit, which is also plush and reaction quickly.

What about orthoses?

With a word, yes. It is a very good and necessary first step to get shoes that work with your foot design, and not against it. But particularly important for people with over -civil servants, plantar fasciitis or another problem with a flat foot, a really great inner sole can help to offer urgently needed support and stability. You can help to ensure that the shoe is all the more comfortable on your foot. You can also create custom orthoses from a podologist.
