Flat Feet and Running

Generally speaking, most people with flat feet tend to overpronate (push off almost entirely from the big toe and second toe) during their running form. Which is why, it is essential to wear shoes with extra medial support or place shoes inserts in order to minimize risk of injury.

The tarsal and metatarsal bones helps create the arch of your foot. This inwardly acts as a natural shock absorber. When you stand, walk, run, or do any kind of movement on your feet, this arch works as a cushion to minimize impact from your feet, ankles, knees, and hips.

But not everyone has a similar type of arch; they can be different in height―high arch, normal arch, low arch, and no arch. People with flat feet, you guessed it, don't have an arch and are more prone to injuries and stress on their bodies. Which is why, finding the right support, in terms of shoes, is important.

Types of Shoes to Wear

Over the past couple of decades, many footwear manufacturers are keeping the importance of specially-developed shoes for people with flat feet in mind, and designing their products. In order to keep your feet comfortable and safe while you're engaging in a variety of physical activities, it is necessary to know that there are three types of shoes recommended for you.

Support Shoes

Many of you already know this but wearing flip-flops, sandals, or high heels is a big no-no for you. Since there is no natural support available, your feet require support shoes which have a strong heel or grip to hold the ground. Without giving the arch any additional lift, these shoes are designed in a way to provide 'added support' to what a normal arch of the feet are supposed to do.

Stability Shoes

As we already discussed earlier that people with flat feet tend to overpronate while walking or running, this can lead to a lot of unnecessary stress on the ankles, feet, and knees. Since straight landing on the foot is not possible, the stability shoes can help correct this issue. While shopping, look for 'stability control' shoes from your favorite brands.

Motion Control Shoes

The motion control shoes are usually the most inflexible and rigid types of shoes designed for flat feet. They have heavy soles which are hard and tough, but are very durable in almost all weather conditions and grounds. These shoes are basically meant for heavier people who have flat feet, since they need more support while walking. These shoes are not running shoes since they are very heavy to handle, and can prove to be uncomfortable at times.
