THE BEST INSOLES FOR PEOPLE WITH FLAT FEET ACCORDING TO ATHLETES
BY: FIXIFOOT PHILIPPINES - APRIL 7, 2022
Still undecided about having arch support insoles for your feet conditions? Today we’ll cover the causes of flat feet and how athletes with flat feet condition treat their feet problems with personalized insoles.
WHAT CAUSES FLAT FEET?
People with flat feet have an unnoticeable arch in the foot especially when they stand. All babies have flat feet and arches usually form through early childhood. Generally, genetic factors cause people to have flat feet their whole lives. While environmental factors such as traumatic injury, rheumatoid arthritis, obesity, and diabetes, lead to flat feet later in life. This is called “acquired flat foot,” or fallen arches which can cause pain and affect walking.
If you develop fallen arches, it’s a good idea to seek a medical professional and determine the cause of your foot condition. To avoid certain injuries and surgeries, an Orthopedist usually suggests getting orthotic insoles for prevention and correction of foot condition.
WHAT KIND OF INSOLES IS RIGHT FOR PEOPLE WITH FLAT FEET?
Dr. Michael Gonzales, Orthopedic Surgeon who specializes in Orthopedics and Traumatology, said that perfect orthotic insoles are the ones that are customized since every foot is different for every person. The right insoles are supposed to help you correct your foot condition and make you feel comfortable as you pair them with the right fitting shoe to give you the overall support in your body and psyche.
