Flat footed feet and what boots you use

[bronxjragon]

Hey everyone, I was just wondering how many people here have flat feet. And I mean FLAT. I have barely any arch -- my feet are flat as hell. Anyway, people with flat feet, what kind of boots do you use?

I'm a total 90 guy now, but when I wear predators, I either have to buy the mid range or lower range shoes just because the split sole thing doesnt offer support for my flat arch, or rather no arch.

Today I had to buy absolados (blue and white... pretty nice and the synthetic is SOFT) because even the absolions are split sole now (good thing I guess...mid range shoes going up in quality).

Anyway lemme here what you guys think

Air Zoom Control.

I have the model previous to these. They are very easy on my feet and I've grown to like them. I don't have any T90 boots, but if they are similar to these I imagine they'd be great as well.

I loved the touch and fit with the Manias, but they were murder on my feet and ankles after awhile.

i have flat feet, i went to a foot specialist (podyatrist - sp. - but thats the proper name for them) and i have some insoles that i put in all my shoes, there only half ones so it doesn't affect sizing, so i can wear any shoe really. Only thing is, the extra lift from the insole means that my foot isn't in QUITE as much as it would be without, but it isn't a problem. I need the insoles because my heels used to hurt like crazy whenever i would run or sometimes walk on them.

Most adidas boots do not work well with flat feet (other than the Copa), the Abs seem to be better suited than the other Preds this area though.

I work in a soccer shop so I get this question a lot, my reply is the Total 90s (higer end models) or Puma King. Nike Legends(fit most foot types) are also very good and well rounded ( flatter feet have less curves/points and need a rounder toe box). Kelme Masters are also great for this foot type but the boot quality is very poor so I hesitate to suggest them because of that.

yeah they are a bit more pointed in the toe than the regular kind but you should be fine with them.

its funny that a lot of boots dont fit flat footed people because over 60% of people have flat feet.

I find that hard ground shoes (more "cleats" the better) are good. The problem is the lack of support in the mid-sole. Most shoes have cleats at the ball of the foot and at the heel because they assume you have arches.

Hard ground cleats have more support closer to the arch, so you take less of a pounding on the mid-sole.
