You know, having flat feet is more common than you might think. In fact, studies have shown that up to 30% of the population have got flat feet. But what exactly makes you have flat feet, and how can it trigger foot pain?
Flat feet is defined as being when the arch of your foot collapses and touches the ground. This can be due to genetics, injury, wear and tear or simply the effects of aging. When you have flat feet, your feet are unable to absorb shock as well as they should, which can lead to foot pain, especially in the arch and heel areas. However, flat feet can also contribute to other foot conditions, such as Plantar fasciitis, bunions or heel spurs. This is because the lack of arch support can cause your foot to roll inward, putting pressure on other areas of your foot.
So, what can you do to manage foot pain caused by flat feet? Well, there are a few lifestyle changes you can make, such as wearing supportive shoes and avoiding high heels. You can also try using off the shelf insoles, which are inserts that go inside your shoes to provide extra support and cushioning. But wait, before you go out and buy any old insole, let me give you some tips. When looking for off the shelf insoles for flat feet, make sure they have good arch support and cushioning. You also want to make sure they fit properly and don’t slip around inside your shoes.
When buying your insoles you should keep in mind that off the shelf insoles do have a lifespan. You should replace them every six to twelve months, depending on how often you wear them. And yes, you can use them with other types of footwear, such as sneakers, dress shoes, and even sandals.
You may be wondering, are off the shelf insoles as effective as custom-made insoles? Well, studies have shown that they can be just as effective for mild to moderate cases of flat feet. And the best part? They’re much more affordable than custom-made insoles especially if you need to keep on replacing them.
Now, I know you’re probably thinking, are there any risks or side effects associated with using off the shelf insoles for flat feet? Well, for the most part, they’re pretty safe. However, if you have severe foot pain or other foot conditions, it’s always best to consult with a doctor or specialist before trying any new treatments.
So, what is the price range for off the shelf insoles for flat feet? Well, it can vary depending on the brand and type of insole, but you can usually find them for anywhere between £10 to £50. And yes, you can trim or modify them to fit your specific foot shape.
