hi, i think i have flat feet and because my feet go inwards, especailly my left foot, it ruins my shoes really quickly, the heels wear out.
Im on my 3rd pair since september!
What do you suggest i do to help this?
Would going to the doctors help?
Should i just buy special insoles or something?
Help!
Thanks ♥

You might be. Take a piece of paper, step in water, then step on the paper. It should leave a footprint. If the print is even from toes to heels, with no instep, then you're probably flat footed. Once your shoes are worn out, put them on a table. If the wear isn't even, mostly around the heel, then its also very likely. The only risk is if you have pain in your feet. I would suggest getting an appointment with an orthopedic doctor or a podiatrist to have a look! He/she can suggest something!

I got flexible flat feet,but not as bad as other ppl got it.When i walk it like my ankle bone goes inward a few inches.You can get surgery or insoles to put in your shoe to help this problem.

It doesn't sound like flat feet but rather bad posture. Have you tried consciously to straighten your feet as you walk? If you really do have flat feet see a podiatrist. There are specially made insoles available which are vastly expensive but are so strong that they may well allow your arches to reform.

I have fallen arches, you need to either see a chiropodist or just ur normal doctors. GET TO A DOCTOR ASAP! My dad had it (i think its genetic) and there was no such thing as chiropodists 'in his day'. It has caused his toes to go at a different angle to normal, and other pains all over him. I get pains on the balls of my feet and the joints between my toes and my feet, my ankles, my knees, and my lower back in particular. You may find your knees go inwards and your posture isnt good. This is noticable when youre getting ladders in your tights on the inside of youre knees. Dont let it ruin your life. Good Luck!

sometimes you can get special insoles but sometimes they want to get you special shoes. I dont think your issue is flat feet but what is commonly refered to as pigeon toed. when you feet go in. My friend in school had that issue and wore special braces on her ancles for a while. I think she eventually had it surgically corrected by a podiatrist.

you need to get insoles that help your feet walk naturally and are really comfy

you can get a foot brace, and overtime your foot will become flexible and you will be able to wear normal shoes. Also, if you wear skate shoes, they are really flexible with sizes and shapes.
