Custom shoe inserts for flat feet

“Flat feet” is a commonly used term to describe a condition where the arches of the feet have collapsed, causing this part of the foot to make complete or near-complete contact with the ground. This can happen for reasons including the arches not developing during childhood, not recovering properly from injury and natural age-related degeneration. Flat feet do not necessarily cause pain, but they can result in foot pain and other symptoms for some.

While there is no cure for flat-footedness, there are several ways to relieve related pain or improve mobility problems that occur, with custom shoe inserts being a very common option. The right pair of inserts can provide added support and cushioning that is often needed to address the specific biomechanical requirements of people with flat feet.

How can custom shoe inserts help flat feet?

Over-the-counter shoe inserts that you can buy in a store can be helpful for many people, but they are often designed for the “typical foot.” If someone has fallen arches combined with other foot irregularities, it can be difficult to find a pair of orthotic inserts that are right for their specific needs.

Here are some of the main advantages that custom shoe inserts provide for someone with flat, or even flatter-than-average, feet:

• Increased arch, heel and forefoot support as required
• More durable construction
• Materials that can provide longer-lasting comfort
• A better fit compared to ready-made inserts

Not all custom foot orthotic devices are created equal however, so it’s important to select a high-quality solution from an experienced manufacturer.
