If you’re a person who is passionate about running, or wants to be, dealing with pain and injury can be extremely frustrating. Whether you run or jog for fun, fitness or competition, many of us have to contend with a wide range of issues that can have us going in fits and starts. One of the more common of these issues is flat feet — otherwise known as low arches or fallen arches.
There are a wide range of foot structures in the body, with some people having high arches, medium arches or low arches. Having low arches is relatively common, and for many it doesn’t result in any pain or impaired movements. However, for others, flat feet can result in an increased chance of pain and injuries. This can be even more likely if you throw the repetitive stresses involved with running into the mix.
Benefits of orthotic insoles for runners with flat feet
The goal of insoles for flat feet is to provide increased arch support, ideally combined with other corrections, to promote more natural foot mechanics. Since everyone has slightly different mechanics and structure, many people with flat feet turn to custom-made orthotic insoles to find the following benefits:
- A custom fit
- Increased durability
- More comprehensive support
- Longer-lasting comfort
- A natural stride
These benefits of custom insoles can be particularly important for runners with flat feet. Store-bought insoles in big-box retail settings very often take a one-size-fits-all approach and are made with flimsier materials that can’t stand up to the rigors of regular running.
