are they good for flat feet and feet that hurt from ankles down when running and your feet do not walk forward in them

These have a lot of arch support. I only walk in them. My feet do not move forward in them at all.

I use them for walking only. The arch isn't very high, but they are comfortable and I've had 5 pairs over the years. Because of the mesh they are good if you have problems in the big toe area (like bunions).

These shoes are very good for walking all day, but I don't run at all. I bought a second pair just to be sure I could still get that style.

Probably. I think the coils might be a little uncomfortable since your probably going to feel them through a running shoe. Id look for one with a lower profile made for running

I'm not sure. They aren't cushioned at all. But, if you have a Morton's Neuroma they could be helpful.

Hey Kevin, they are pretty good for running as I know this from experience. The ear cushion is soft, so it won't rub your ears roughly. Their only downfall, I think, when it comes to fitness is that they may make you ears sweat a little because of the material the cushion is made of. But I will deal with that part because of how soft the cushion is. Other than that, they are A1 in my book!!

Biomechanically running and walking wearing ankle weights is bad on the knees and feet. It would be better if you used them to do leg raises on the floor to strengthen all the muscles around the hip and knee, and also for abdominal work. Good luck!

I'm not a runner. I'm a nurse & work 12hr shifts which included lots of running up & down the hallway to surgery. They stay up very well and also support your arches. One of the docs I work with wears them when running.

I think they'd work well, it just depends on if you'd want that look. By the way, I just did a 5K mud run on this past Saturday and I didn't lose my shoes once.

No. They don't provide enough cushioning for running long distances but are excellent for walking on all types of terrain.

Yes, They also work great for football cleats too. I haven't had any ankle issues. Not to bulky.

No, they really don't work well in the shoe. Your foot would slip over the smooth side too much. I tried pads in the shoes. They didn't stick well either.

Hi Sarah, So although I don't have flat feet I would say that those are comfortable for people with flat feet. My feet gets tired easily with it so I think it may be even more comfortable for those with flat feet.

I do believe the movements with your legs is still the same. Make sure there not to big, they may dig into the top of your shoe / foot.

They will if you wearing heavy socks and slacks. I wear a pair of pull-on knits which are comfortable to exercise in. My ankles are very small (I wear a 2 petite) and I find they do slip a little. The key is to really hold them tight and make sure you put them on tight. Good luck with your ankles.

Certainly. The only thing I've found I need to be careful of, is that compression hose that stretch tightly on the foot (which these do not on me) will develop holes from friction very quickly inside running shoes.

I have flat feet and they really help. My husband has arches and they help him. I think they would help with narrow feet and high arches. Put them under the removable pads in your tennis or other shoes.

Similar concern here. Really feel the balls of my feet when I walk or stand for extended periods of time. These insoles help quite a bit. For the $$$, a good investment. Will it clear it up completely; no. But they will ad comfort for sure.

They probably are if you want them to fit snugly. But that doesn't mean they will fall past your foot. And you could always wrap a small towel or clothing around your ankle first.
