FLAT FEET: UNDERSTANDING THE CONDITION AND FINDING THE RIGHT FOOTWEAR

FLAT FEET: UNDERSTANDING THE CONDITION AND FINDING THE RIGHT FOOTWEAR

What Are Flat Feet?

Flat feet (also known as fallen arches) refer to a condition where the arch of the foot is either lowered or nonexistent, causing the entire sole of the foot to make contact with the ground. It’s a common condition that affects many people, and for some, it may lead to pain or discomfort if proper support is not provided.

For those with flat feet, the lack of a defined arch can lead to overpronation, where the foot rolls inward during walking. This additional inward movement places extra strain on the knees, hips, and lower back, which can lead to long-term discomfort or even injury if not addressed properly.

Footwear Considerations for People with Flat Feet:

Arch Support:

  • People with flat feet often require additional arch support to alleviate discomfort. When the foot lacks an arch, the rest of the body compensates by changing posture, which can lead to pain in the feet, knees, hips, or even the lower back.

Custom Insoles:

  • While PIERZEL offers luxury shoes with custom Made-to-Order fits, we do not offer orthopedic insoles or specialized instep support as part of our shoes. We focus on providing beautifully crafted shoes that prioritize comfort but not orthopedic solutions.

Important Note:

If you have flat feet, you may need to purchase special insoles or orthopedic insoles designed specifically to provide the necessary arch support for your comfort and foot health. These insoles can be added to our Made-to-Order shoes for a personalized fit that will meet your specific needs. At PIERZEL, we recommend Saphir anatomic insoles or other specialized arch support insoles, which can be easily added to the shoes for extra support.

How PIERZEL Can Help:

Customizable Fits:

  • Our Made-to-Order shoes are designed to fit your unique foot shape, providing the comfort where it’s needed most. While we don’t provide orthopedic insoles directly, our shoes are highly customizable to ensure a perfect fit with extra room in the arch and toe box.

Luxury Craftsmanship:

  • We focus on luxury craftsmanship, ensuring that our shoes are comfortable from day one, even without added orthopedic features. Our handcrafted shoes will mold to your foot over time, providing a premium fit. However, for those with flat feet, we recommend adding the right insoles that suit your specific needs for arch support.

Elegance and Functionality:

  • PIERZEL’s Made-to-Order shoes are designed to blend elegance and comfort, offering you a beautiful and personalized fit. While we don’t offer orthopedic-specific features, you can enjoy a stylish solution that works with your custom insoles to provide optimal support and comfort for your flat feet.

Conclusion:

For people with flat feet, finding the right footwear with the proper arch support is essential. At PIERZEL, we offer custom-made shoes that provide a comfortable fit, but for optimal arch support, we recommend purchasing orthopedic insoles like Saphir anatomic insoles. These insoles can be easily paired with our luxury footwear, ensuring that you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for style.
