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.

The are flat front not pleaded. I think they are more classic not straight. They give your thighs breathing room, and the do not tapper at the ankles. I'm 46 and not buying anything straight fit. I hope this helps

Yes, I have plantar fasciitis, and have used these (in this type, and also the smaller one for shoes and PF) in all my shoes for over a year. I have flat feet. I also find that shoes with negative heels, like Earth brand shoes are helpful, as they help stretch the arch. I used to wear harder bottomed shoes, like birkenstocks, but these have eliminated about 90% of my pain. I walk on a treadmill 6x per week, for about an hour. I highly recommend these inserts.

I don't run long distance, but I do run. My issues are plantar fasciitis and a neuroma, and these are very helpful. I can't run without them.

I'm not a runner, but I do alot of walking. I've purchased several of these and have been quite pleased with them. They keep me from walking on the sides of my feet and since I've been using them, I don't have the pain in my heel.

I have high arches, and they work well for my feet... I'm not a podiatrist, but I suspect the hard arch support might be a little much for flat feet

If you wear arch supports in your running shoes, it would be worth trying in training. I have mixed some jogging in with my walking. Not a marathon but but they helped during and after.

Hello, I would take a look at the Spenco RX full length insole. That will help with flat feet. Nicole

I am partially paralyzed and use these to build up strength with leg exercises. They're kind of 'poofy' but you CAN cinch them pretty tightly with the velcro straps so they dont slide up and down. They're larger and bulkier than ankle weights which are a pre-set weight though. I think for running or walking I'd prefer something a bit more sleek. These are perfect for my stationary exercises, but I don't think I'd choose them for running.Just my personal preference. Hope this helps!

Not with minimalist shoes, but I've found mine irritating to run long distances with normal running shoes. They are great for hiking on uneven ground, softball and pickup basketball.

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

I don't really know how they would work for a long distance runner, but they have been the most helpful insert I have found yet - and I have tried many. I don't know what your foot issues are exactly but if I don't put these in my shoes, I can tell within a few hours.

Honestly I mean I guess it would depend what you were doing in them. I run in them and love them and they have awesome sound. Now would I use them during my martial arts and stuff? Not likely but if you wanna run I don't think I have ever had a pair of s11's fall off so I would recommend and I'm not running usually on just flat ground it could be any terrain so I hope that helps ya out.

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.

They are excellent for running. They do not move at all. But if you lift weights on a bench the behind the head style may not work. Oh yes they sound excellent.

Absolutely! They are soft...do not hurt your feet...but solid...they stay in place. They are smooth...do not get "hot". Enjoy!

If you are looking for ankle weights to do leg lifts etc. in place without running or walking, these would be perfect. They do not tighten enough for a person who wants to jog or run.
