Sounds like the theme to "Movie ShoooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW NAILED IT!"

About 6 months after I joined the military, I started to have a lot of problems with my feet. My arches are very flat. I went to the doctor and was sent to a very old podiatrist. He told me I had 2 choices. One was to get custom orthotic supports and the other was to do a simple exercise of stand up on my toes 100 times in a row, pausing briefly at the top. So of course I got the expensive supports. A few months went by and my feet still hurt horribly. Then I remembered what the old doctor told me and started to do the exercise. It took just a couple of weeks and I've never used supports since and that was in 1988. Now even my wife exercises her feet and she's stopped having problems too.

There are several suggestions you can try Try a natural remedies for plantar foot. Something as simple as ginger root, which can be found at your drug store, is a great anti-inflammatory. Ginger root is in the class of plants known as Cox inhibitors. This means they help inflammation naturally. Another natural remedy for pain is Bromelain. Bromelain is an enzyme found in pineapples. just drink the raw juice or eat raw pineapple, you can gt advantage from the properties of Bromelain. This is natural healing at its very best.

Had flat feet all my life. Never have pains until I put an orthotic that supposed to "fix" my flat feet or wear a shoe that has even a minimal arch (my tennis shoes for example).

I’ve had sunken arches as far back as I can remember and found that a mixture of stretches and massage gives a lot of relief but the key is consistency. A lot of stretches that incorporate that ballerina foot pose where you exaggerate your arch and point your toes down like the yoga pose where you sit on your ankles is a must and massage on both the top and bottom. I use a roller pin for my foot while exaggerating the arch it hurts like hell when starting when I first done it literally was painful every time I did it for months till one day it didn’t. Also exercises where you are on the tips of your toes like calf raises helps strengthen them I’ve done this for years and found those were the best I still have flat feet but it just doesn’t cramp up or bother me as much anymore my job requires me to be on my feet all day with safety boots could and I play and train semi pro soccer 4 days a week so imagine I have to do this daily or I start having pain in my arches

Bob and Brad - National treasures and providers of sage advice.

I really appreciate how practical and how real you all are. I agree with you that if something is going to help my feet I'm going to feel the relief immediately. I'm not going to have to wait and see and adjust to it over time. They are paying games when it comes to flat fee I don't understand why that is.

I think the most important message is when trying shoes or support, it should feel good IMMEDIATELY! Thanks, guys!

Those of us who have truly flat feet know that Ryan does NOT have flat feet. He has low arches. There are people like me who run often and want zero arch support. We want a completely flat, unstructured, cushion shoe that has nothing on the inside. I have a box of orthotics I threw out years ago. I have cut, drilled, scored, and modified all my shoes. I can run ten miles in a shoe with zero arch support and prefer to. You might mention that some of us do better with no support at all, and yet no manufacturer makes a shoe for us. The Altra Escalante is close out of the box but still needs the midsole trimmed down a bit to go perfectly flat.

You can also tell flat feet if you come out of the water at a swimming pool and your tfootprints look like duck feet. If you have good arches, the prints go way in where the arches are. When I was a kid, the shoe salesman told my mother I had flat feet and the way to fix them was to take ballet. That worked, but now 60 years later I need shoes with arch supports (which none seem to have). You are right! I can feel the difference immediately.

I’m 67 and when I was very young a doctor recommended that he break the bones in my feet and reset them so I wouldn’t be flat footed. My parents said no. I wore arch supports for a while and stopped for a long time. Then about thirty years ago I started again. I stopped again a few year ago because my chiropractor recommended.

What do you suggest for standing with flat feet? I find arch support irritates my feet when standing but I like supportive shoes when walking.

Happy belated birthday to the nephew!

Bob and Brad forgot to mention you may not need support at all(!) If you have flexible flat foot, wherein the feet are capable of forming an arch but don’t hold one well, most of the time you can correct the issue by building up the appropriate foot muscles and probably learning new movement patterns. Stiff soles, arch support, and narrow toe boxes in modern footwear tends to lead to inactive, atrophied foot muscles which then often leads to collapsed arches-and is also one possible cause of plantar fasciitis. Making a (gradual!) transition to ‘minimal’ footwear can and often does help in restoring muscular foot health but is often not a complete solution by itself. In no other area of physical therapy is permanent external bracing the primary, go-to solution.

I wasted more time and money on physical therapy than the co-payment for one set of custom orthotics, by probably an order of magnitude. Months of PT using every modality they could dig up, one pair of orthotics (done at PT) and boom, no problem.

Decades ago when I bought shoes with "good arch support", they hurt because those humps did not match my arch. Years later I had problems with the arch that is across the mettarsals. So my podiatrist game me a lift to correct it. It worked except it made my knees hurt since it changed the angles. The squishy things you used, might work combined with tie shoe over the over the instep.

I've been flat feet since kid. Doctors used to tell me and my parents that by age of 20 I'll not be able to walk unless they buy custom arch support and custom shoes. Well, you could as well use crutches or wheelchair ... it will feel more easy on the feet and knees. That's what archsuport is... crutches.

Hi i want to ask u which flat foot correction sole work best silicon made or plastic?

this is why i love brad and bob (the most famous physical therapists) because they tell the truth even when it hurts, in this case my custom cork sandals. lol

I've just started working at a store that sells these things (I'm a physiotherapy student) and this video is really good for me!

Hi plz tell me which is best for flate foot correction a sillicon arch sole or plastic?

I have a curious point I personally have some low arches, which don't affect me usually, but when I searched for information, I noticed that many people would suggest that we wear shoes with arch support (that is, shoes with protrusions on the arch of the insole), saying It can help balance the force on the soles of the feet and relieve fatigue on the soles of the feet. At the same time, I also found that some people think that we should try to avoid shoes with arch support, because arch support will replace or reduce the force of our original muscles, causing muscle degeneration or even atrophy. What I'm curious about is: 1. Which of the above statements is more correct or has more correct parts? 2. If don’t consider the problems of flat feet or high arches that affect your life, for people with normal arches or people with low arches like me but the problem is not serious, should try to choose shoes with arch support or Shoes without arch support? Hope to know your opinion

@@redshadow8979 yeah it's so hard to pinpoint the issue. I have flat feet and i overpronate but i don't know whether to get supportive shoes like the asics gt 2000 that prevent you from overpronating, or get minimalist shoes and go barefoot to build up my foot strength. so confusing

I’m with you guys!!! This is my predicament- 😢my knees are now bothersome b/c my feet are so weak. I was told by one person to Buy VIbram 5 finger shoes- and by another to strengthen my feet & by another to get knee surgery.

Born this way , never a problem

Oh just wait

I have flat feet that look like they were passed on genetically from both my parents. I run on average 12 miles a week. I have no problems. And my parents have never had problems. Is there such a thing that some flat feet are normal and fine? When I wear shoes with any arch support I end up cramping in pain and can't walk more than a couple blocks in them.

I have severe flat feet and I get a lot of pain in my heels and calves. Yes, most people have asympomatic flat feet, but some people do have problems with their flat feet. Supposedly this happens if they have a short achilles tendon, and mine do appear to be short and tight.

Thank you!

I've never had much luck getting good custom orthotics. I buy vionic supports several times per year and Brooks Addiction Walker shoes. Those shoes really help pronation.

@@lindalamb7512 keep trying till you find something that works for you. Others here have mentioned other brands that work for them. My point was that the custom orthotics never worked for me. In fact made them worse.

Do you take put the insoles or padding already in the shoe or put it on top of what's already there?

I have relatively low arched feet and I recently met with an ankle injury. My doctor said I shouldn't be running or jumping so much as I have a flat foot. I love living an active lifestyle but now it really bothers me that i can't jump like before

Well, like many other things, it's different for each person. I got some custom orthotics and they have made me feel great. They are expensive but I used my FSA through work. I mainly wear them in my work shoes. I can tell the difference when I don't wear them. I also wear some non-custom ones that I get off of Amazon for my other shoes. It helps me tremendously, less back pain, less back strain and tightness but I'm sure it's different for everyone.

These guys are saviours 💫

New Balance brand arch supports are the best. They are super stiff, and it feels really good against my flat feet. Apparently my flat feet contributed to the development of my knee tendonitis. I wish I had known about these arch support inserts years ago!

@@onlyrog5 Thanks! Oh and as of October 2021 i have switched from New Balance arch support insoles to Copperfit Balance arch supports. I am no longer satisfied with New Balance, they changed their arch supports shape after the got bought out by Superfeet recently, and now they the arch support "bump" is too far back towards the heel. Copperfit is the best now!
