MD Podiatrist Details What to Look For in Running Shoes for Flat Feet

Dan Michaels, DPM, a board-certified podiatrist, explains that “running shoes for flat feet are specifically designed to provide additional support and stability to individuals with flat arches or overpronation. Shoes should provide adequate support for flat arches, which may include firmer midsoles or built-in arch supports to prevent overpronation,” says Dr. Micaels. 

When shopping for running shoes for flat feet, ensuring they fit properly is essential. According to Dr. Michaels, running shoes for flat feet should be snug and suppress any unwanted foot movement from occurring while running.
