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.

Travelling yes, running, though I have never tried, from what I can see by the design, I doubt they would fair well for running. They aren't the most snug fit. At least on my head. I mean they are perfect for normal walking but I am willing to bet you would probably have to stop to adjust them from time to time if you were running with them on. For me, they just don't feel like they would stay in place if I ran with them.

Yes. However, depending on how high your arch is, you may also want to use an insert. I purchased the shoes because I need arch support beyond what I normally get in some running shoes.

I can't say. All I know is that I have less foot and arch pain when I wear them. I would google "fallen arches" and "arch supports" to research the matter. All I know is they work for me, and they are cheaper on Amazon than in the local stores.

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.

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.

Probably not. I bought them for my daughter and they did not stay on her feet very long. Unfortunately, I cannot suggest you buy them for that reason.

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!

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

Sadly, I have Plantar Fac. and I do wear custom insoles and I can no longer run, so I'm afraid I can't answer your question. I can tell you I wear the heel wedge under my custom insole and it really helps me to walk more inward instead of outward. Good luck.

Yes, they are flat, but are a little thicker than "counter type" pads one buys in stores. Not a problem in my shoes, but if wearing orthotics, possible they could make your shoes a tighter fit. I'm not talking thick, just not as thin as most.

I wish I had asked that question before purchasing. No, they are not -- lucky for me I wear mostly flats. But it's not suitable for heels.

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.

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

They are flat. stone cold flat. Equal to the insole of any normal shoe.I will say try them with your orthotics. come on they are not that expensive. the only thing that beats a trial is a failure. but most of all I hope you will find comfort when you try them. If your orthotics have a removable insole I will remove it and then put in the Pedag 196 Happy walking.

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.

I think they would help. That's one of the reasons I wear these kind of support stockings. I spend a lot of time sitting and wearing these stockings keeps my legs and ankles from swelling which, for me, is the main cause of leg aches.
