which is anotherĀ ???.... what is the deal with "arch support"? I have low arches and sort of bad pronation. Some "filling of the void" is nice to me.... but walking on an arch holding up your arch is quite uncomfortable to me. That is not what arches were designed for. So do you guys with flat feet get arches to give you what you don't have? Do you walk around on false arches?
I've got flat and floppy feet, and overpronate like a champ. Perhaps because my mom worked for a podiatrist, I was put in custom orthotics starting in middle school and thought I just had "bad feet." Once I just decided to chuck all the insoles and wear regular comfy shoes, my feet were a lot happier. It was an adjustment period to go from supported to having my feet fend for themselves, but it was well worth it. Now I try to wear as little shoe as possible. As always, YMMV |
