I have flat feet also. The I have experienced no problems. I think the arch they are referring to is a metal arch the surrounds the ankle. I play competitive singles tennis, when I play I never notice the braces.

I don't know, bigT. The brace is made of a strong nylon. I break the lacing up to three different areas that overlap . . with three different shoestrings. I can get the thing really tight. It is close to being a great tape job or even a cast . . I can tell you that the brace forms to my foot. I would think that with flat feet, the brace would stop there, and when you tightened, it would not be able to pull into an arch that was not there. I can tell you it is well-made and strong. The size on mine ran a little big. I have a size 14 foot. I got the one . . I think it is 12 to 14. When I crank on it, it is tight, but I pull the laces together. I hope that is some help.

hi, that depends..do u have a complete foot drop and will you walk with this or just sleep like I had.? I don't think this is for you..I am size 9 and it was ok but sixe 15 it will be in the arch in the middle of you foot. I am not using it anymore...got an AFO and I can walk much better.If you walk with this all the time you will have to replace those velcro straps often.This is designed for light use ...walking around the house bare foot and sleeping. I had to glue those velcro straps really good. Any other questions, please let me know.

Yes. I have low arches and basically flat feet. These are a little uncomfortable at first, but after breaking in are now very comgortable.. Hope you have the same results!

I am not sure as I don't have flat feet. However, since there is a hump on the inner side, it may correct your flat feet in the long run - please seek advise from a doctor. The key thing is whether you feel comfortable when trying to walk with it in the insole. Hope this helps.

Not 100% sure. It does help with the arch or lack of, or it has for me with planter fasciitis

We do not carry any orthotics for flat feet. I am not aware of any company that does sell them for flat feet.

I believe so. My son has flat feet and since he started using them about 4 years ago has had no problems at all. Highly recommended.

Absolutely, go for it. I did, about, 15-yrs ago and now my once FLAT FEET have natural arches. Don't rush it, wear your orthotics for a half hour on day one and then go from there, depending on how you do. I've purchased all my orthotics from ArchCrafters, except for once. I recall that exception, orthotics from another company, was a total mistake cause I gave them to the dumpster. Not the ArchCrafters ; I still use my first pair of their orthotics. Right, they do not wear out. HillbillyPS. The caviot from Amazon, "not suitable for flat feet", I must assume, is to protect against law suits. Lawyers... Absolutely, go for it.

It has some kind of rolled stitching around the heel and instep. I found it to be very uncomfortable.

I wouldnt try it with bare feet. I use it with my socks and training shoes on, I hope that answer your question. I read from one of the reviews somewhere on the net to use shoes. I love my Ironman it works really good.

Yes. They have a great arch support. I use them because I have a high arch, but my son usez them because his foot overpronates which flattens his arch when walking.

I can flat feet it if I have pants with a loose crotch. With blue jeans or other docker's type pant no. I have a 29 inseam.

I have very flat feet and that was why I purchased them. You will feel the arch from this insert that you wish your foot had naturally.

YES!!! I have flat feet and I always use Spenco's in my shoes; they are comfortable to the point where I'm replacing all insoles of all shoes I buy with Spenco; the arch part is not uncomfortable and it is hard for me to wear a shoe "without" an arch support; this insole provides excellent cushioning as well. Get it!! Don't hesitate!!

Great question -- it's actually pretty thin, and pretty short. It only comes to the ball of my foot, and it's really not a substitute for a "real" orthotic.

It looks like a flat pancake. Imagine sticking that into your shoe. If the sandals are in any way open, it will probably move around a lot. Like your sole of your shoe coming apart.

This will benefit you for that purpose because it has three levels of arch. It come with two arch support trigger point and the flat.. I love this thing and for the price you cant beat that. Hope this could help you.
