This question is under military, so if you are asking if any branch of military service in the U.S. will give you footwear for flat footedness, know that with a few exceptions, the military doesn't accept individuals suffering from flat foot. If you meet the criteria for an exception to this standard, yes, proper footwear will be supplied, but can't recall any one I've ever known to be accepted as a recruit who had flat feet.

Being flatfooted (like I am) is a disability, in the past military does not accept faltfooted but now I guess they do. The special footwear is for you to adjust your foot so you can go on long walk, run etc. Without it you will not be able to.

I'm not sure if you're allowed to enlist if you are. The doctor said I was "mildly flatfooted" and I don't know if MEPS waivered it or not, but I was able to enlist. I know I had a waiver for something but I think it was because of my height or my ASVAB score. Lol, I'm 4'11 and had a score of below 40.

Are you in the military? I heard of some folks that were flat footed and they went through the military' s medical testing. However, the docs there discharged them cause of being flat footed. Your luck might be just tha.
