The Best Walking Shoes For Flat Feet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
"Flat feet" is a popular reference term for the medical condition describing feet with collapsed arches. The Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (MFMER) states that flat-footedness is caused either by the body's inability to develop arches or by weak muscles that fail to maintain arches. While flat feet are usually painless,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the ankles develop problems from turning in to compensate for the lowered arch, according to the MFMER. Proper shoes help the ankles to support the body and reduce leg pain associated with the condition.
Arch SupportsThe MFMER states that the foot is comprised of "26 bones held together by 33 joints and more than 100 muscles,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], tendons and ligaments" that make up what is commonly called the arch of the foot. The arches provide a spring-type system to assist in moving the body,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as well as absorbing its weight over any type of ground surface. People with flat feet require walking shoes that incorporate arch supports that replicate the foot's normal curvature. Shoes can be tested by placing the fingers inside and pushing down. There should be firm support rather than soft cushioning. The fingers are then slid to the center of the shoe to feel the incline in the insole material. Flat feet require a shoe with such a built-in arch.
Shoes Accommodating Custom Arch SupportsWhen over-the-counter walking shoe models cannot provide the proper support for the fallen arch,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], custom orthotics are required. Orthotics is a medical term used to describe special appliances that are placed inside the shoe to provide an artificial curvature that approximates a natural arch. In this case,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the orthotic arch replicates the height and placement of the foot arch. A podiatrist or related specialist creates a custom foot support in either a rigid, semi-rigid or soft arch,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with the firmness determined by the individual's orthotic needs. A walking shoe must then be selected that provides a perfect fit for the new orthotic arch support.
Specific Shoe DesignThe Mayo Clinic recommends walking shoes that have motion control and a straight last (base of the shoe) to assist in stabilizing the foot when moving. The tread pattern on the bottom of each shoe should be examined. Motion control designs have limited horizontal patterns. The Department of Health,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Nutrition,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Exercise Sciences at the North Dakota State University Extension Service suggests that running shoes may provide the best choice for flat-footed walkers due to their additional motion control.
Shoes Accommodating Custom WedgesCustom wedges also belong to the category of medical orthotics. Custom wedges are prescribed when over-the-counter walking shoes have created tendinitis (or the risk of this condition) in the posterior tibial tendon by failing to provide the necessary support. The Mayo Clinic states that a custom wedge used in the walking shoe reduces the amount of the load on the tendon tissue. It should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], diagnosis or treatment. LIVESTRONG is a registered trademark of the LIVESTRONG Foundation.
