I've been dealing with flat feet my whole life and my feet kill me after walking around all day at work. I usually just grab whatever's on sale but I'm wondering if there are specific sneaker brands that actually help with arch support instead of making it worse. Should I be looking at athletic brands or are there casual sneakers that work too?
Get your feet actually measured at a specialty running store - they can do a gait analysis and tell you exactly what you need, because flat feet come in different flavors and what helps one person might not help another. After that, brands like New Balance, ASICS, and Brooks tend to have solid arch support in their regular lines (not just athletic), and orthopedic-focused brands exist too, but honestly the fit matters way more than the brand name.
