Disclaimer: This article is for information purposes only. Seek medical help if you have flat feet and pain. Arch support may not be best for every individual. (see arch support study<\/a>) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be tricky when you buy a new shoe because the insoles aren’t always the best, and many shoes don’t have room for new insole inserts. I’ve needed insoles for a couple of my shoes and it took some trial and error before I found the right fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best insole for flat feet is one that gives you the right support. Those with flat feet tend to need an insole with firm arch support. Listen to your body, see a doctor, and try low to medium arch support to determine what’s best for you. <\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether your flat feet are caused genetically by an injury or a fallen arch, you can get relief from pain by using insoles that help provide support for your arches. Sometimes you can see a physical therapist to get pain relief with insoles. So how do you choose?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people are either born with flat feet that never develop an arch or they lose their arch later in life. In both conditions, an arch support insole might be helpful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each person is different, as are different insoles. The best treatment might not be an insole but for pain immediate pain relief, insoles can make a big difference.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born With Flat Feet<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

\"Born<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

There are three things that might happen when we are born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT HAPPENS<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Everyone is born with flat feet<\/strong>. Then about the age of 3, we start to develop an arch as we walk more and more. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Some people are born with a rigid, flat foot, <\/strong>so they can’t grow out of it. They need to seek medical help to get the best treatment. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Others have a “Flexible flatfoot<\/strong>” that “is caused by lax ligaments in the foot.” (my.clevelandclinic.org<\/a>) This genetically passed-on issue may not be painful and some people can do everyday activities fine without any problems.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    SOLUTION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you were born with flat feet that never developed an arch and are starting to have pain, insoles might help. Each person is different, so trying a couple of inserts is a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
