Fallen arches or splay feet can place additional strain on your feet during everyday activities. Many people therefore prefer shoes with comfortable cushioning, a supportive fit and, if required, enough room for orthopaedic insoles.
As every foot and every condition is different, we cannot provide medical advice. If you experience ongoing discomfort, we recommend consulting a doctor or orthopaedic specialist.
What should you look for?
Many customers with fallen arches or splay feet prefer shoes with:
- Comfortable cushioning
- Plenty of room in the forefoot
- A secure and comfortable fit
- Removable insoles (depending on the model) for orthopaedic inserts
