My flat-footedness has never really been an issue for me. I can run or jog a few blocks if need be, but I'm just about the most unathletic geek west of the Mississippi.

Theodore Junior Higgins is what I named him.
i am completely flat-footed --no arch at all. Never could run worth a damn and I've had knee and ankle problems my whole life. My feet roll in rather badly, since there's no arch, which makes me knock-kneed. Most of my weight ends up on my toes, as they are doing all the work of keeping my foot upright. The bones in my toes & feet are starting to give out--Osteoarthritis.
The hardest part has been finding shoes that don't hurt my feet, or will at least keep my ankles from rolling in. That means orthopedic shoes. All my life I've wanted to wear pretty, cool, girly shoes like everyone else, but I always ended up in clunky orthopedic, old lady shoes.
Now I AM an old lady and I am struggling to afford good orthopedic shoes. I have two good pairs, both black. I need to get a new pair of Merrell's but they want a ridiculous price for the ones I want. Maybe I'll get them for my birthday in the fall.
Anyone else with flat feet ever been told they need to "walk right"?
My dad used to look at the solid wet footprints I'd leave at the sides of diving pools and criticize me for walking wrong, somehow.
Now, I discovered recently that my left foot actually DOES have a bit of an arch when it's not touching the floor, but once it does...nope, there's that solid blob of an imprint again.

i consider that a tad unfair
Hubs is told regularly that his gait is weird and he’s already had his hip replaced. His feet are so flat it hurts me to look at them. Finding good supportive shoes in his size (15) are his actual hobby.Anyone else with flat feet ever been told they need to "walk right"?

15's!? I thought my feet were big but they're only 12's.
12.5 - you are a ballerinus proper
At least around here I haven't had much of a problem. Maybe Florida attracts bigfoots.So you well know good shoes in larger sizes are hard to find at reasonable prices.
does he wear high heels, too?
I wear a 5 or 6 depending on the manufacturer. We never get our shoes mixed up.
I never do even though if I could find heels in a 15 I might bring them home. His sisters are very tall too and they’ve got big big heels in their closets!

Size 15 feet ?
Size 15 feet ?
He’s 6,3” - his uncle is 6,6” so he’s not even the tallest in his family.
I’ve apologized more than once for being the wrench in the gene pool; I’m not quite 5,1”.
the mother of one of my daughters is taller than me (1.94m, i'm 1.90) - she used to buy her size 12 heels in sexshops. she always said they got the better selection. i need to ask her whether she still does.
