What can I do about the pain from flat feet?


Question:
I like to ski and skate (jnline and ice) but my feet hurt so much from the foot wear. Is there a solution for this? I usually just wear athletic shoes during the day but when I have to wear any other foot wear it's really painful. Any suggestions?

Answers:
Talk to your podiatrist for suggestions. I wear orthotic supports for flat feet. I have some dress shoes that are too small for them so I bought some smaller non-prescription ones at the pharmacy that fit nicely into slender shoes. Maybe you could try those in your skates?
Many podiatrists carry a line of hard inserts to put into your footwear that produces an arch in your foot. This relieves foot pain and even back pain sometimes related to flat feet. See a podiatrists and he can help. It worked for me.
