What Women's Shoe Features Are Best For Flat Feet?

Wearing supportive shoes and/or orthotics can help with pain associated with flat feet and support your lower body. When choosing shoes for flat feet look for shoe features that are designed provide support, cushioning, and therapeutic relief for flat feet. Below are specific features in shoes that can support and comfort flat feet.

• Rigid or Semi-Rigid Insole: A firm insole with built-in arch support is best to support flat feet or fallen arches. The contoured design of an insole with cradle the heel for stability and anatomical support. Depending on the severity, firmer support can help prevent excessive foot motion and promote proper lower body biomechanics.
• Firm heel counter: A firm heel counter is a rigid material that wraps around the heel to limit movement in the heel. This feature helps with stability and prevent excessive inward rolling of the foot while walking or running, a common symptom of flat feet.
• Shank: A supportive structure that can be found in the midsole between the insole and outsole. This feature provides additional support and stability to the midfoot and arch area. It is usually made of rigid material like steel or fiber glass. The shoe shank adds reinforcement to the shoe to prevent excessive inward rolling of the foot while moving and promotes anatomical foot positioning.
• Wide Toe Box: This feature allows your toes to spread out naturally for better foot alignment and added stability. Since flat feet are associated with overpronation, a wide toe box provides a broader base to distribute body weight evenly, reducing the tendency to overpronate.
• Cushioned midsole: A shoe with a cushioned midsole, usually of an EVA material, provides shock absorption to comfort and support flat feet. Since flat feet can put additional stress on joints in the lower body, a cushioned midsole can help reduce impact on these joints (ankles, knees, hips).
• Removable insoles: Shoes with a removable insole option allow you to replace the insole with your own prescribed orthotics (if recommended by a healthcare professional) designed for flat feet.
