What Types of Shoes Are Best for Flat Feet?
Individuals with flat feet have flattened arches in the insides of the feet. When a person with flat feet stands up, the entire foot touches the floor. A normal foot has an arch on the inside, which means this part of the foot never touches the ground. The arch provides natural shock absorption. In its absence, extra stress is placed on other parts of the body such as the hips, ankles, and knees. To reduce the impact on other parts of the body, including the other parts of the feet, running shoes that provide either ample cushion, support, motion control, and stability are essential.
