What can happen if you have flat feet?

Flat feet can make walking painful, but the right shoe insoles can correct imbalances and relieve discomfort. Fulton insoles are designed to give flat feet the support they need.

Insoles can benefit just about anyone, but having flat feet may predispose you to certain conditions that cause discomfort. The good news is that supportive insoles can alleviate or prevent these conditions:

  • Plantar fasciitis: Flat feet can lead to inflammation of the thick band of tissue that connects your heel to your toes. The inflammation comes with a stabbing pain, especially in the mornings, and difficulties walking.
  • Overpronation: This is when the way you walk causes the ankles to roll inward, putting unnecessary stress on the muscles, tendons, and ligaments that support your arches. Overpronation can increase the risk of foot, ankle, and leg injuries.
  • Hip, knee, or back pain: A lack of arch support leads to misalignment in your gait and legs, which your body tries to compensate for. This puts extra pressure on your hips, knees, and back.
  • Achilles tendonitis: The Achilles tendon is the tissue band that connects your heel to your lower calf and helps lift your heel when you walk, jump, and run. Flat feet roll inward, which strains the tendon and causes severe inflammation and pain.
  • Shin splints: Overpronation from flat feet places excess stress on shin muscles and tendons, leading to pain along the shin bone. Shin splints are especially common in runners with flat feet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Having flat feet means the inner edges of your feet touch the ground when you stand or step, when there should normally be a visible arch. The entire foot touching the ground can cause a lot of problems when you walk and may be painful.

Many people with flat feet don’t even notice unless they start developing foot pain. The pain is usually centered in the heel or arch area and can get worse the more pressure you put on it. You might also have swelling around the insides of your ankles. 

You’ll need to see a healthcare professional to confirm whether you have flat feet. They’ll observe your feet and gait and possibly take imaging tests to diagnose foot pain.

Insoles with custom arch support will help correct overpronation caused by flat feet and promote better foot alignment overall. The Fulton Classic, Athletic, and Universal insoles all provide excellent support for flat feet.

Any Fulton insoles will mold perfectly to support your arch, but the best model for you will depend on your daily needs. The Classic Insole works well for everyday wear and the casual walker, for example, while the Universal Insole is made to add support to shoes without removable insoles. The Athletic Insole is designed to absorb impact and provide stability during sports or intense physical activities like hiking or running.
