| Flat Feet, Anyone?
Hey,
I'm curious if anyone else on here has flat feet. For as long as I can remember I have always walked out-toed. My mom took me to a doctor (This was many many years ago) and he said I had flat feet and should wear arches.
I'm curious if having flat feet will get in the way of exercizing. Every time I go to the store and get a pair of arches they hurt like the dickens... Not because they're hurting my arch, but they rub the skin on my feet raw. However, my feet also hurt without them. They hurt if I walk too much in pretty much every pair of shoes I own. The pain will then spread to the ankles, and then my heels.
I'm wondering if it's time I get to one of those special shoe places and see if I can get a pair of shoes specially fitted to my foot. I can't afford that now, but I probably will be able to in a couple of months.
If you have flatfeet, how has it affected your exercizing? What did you do about them? Should I continue to wear the arches even if they rub me raw? Will I ever get to wish my flat feet good riddence if I continue to wear arches, or get a special-made shoe?
Thank you for reading!
