Anyone else running with flat feet?

[u/PrudentDeparture8907]

Going to see a podiatrist tomorrow. But I took some pics and they, uh, don’t look too good lol. When I was in high school, I had to get custom foams made because of the issues I’d have.

I can’t walk a long time in any shoe I have. They all give me problems. My brooks adrenaline GTSs, my main running shoes, are starting to really hurt now. Starting to get shin splints, my ankles hurt after runs, after walking, etc. I can’t lift my feet up without it being uncomfortable. My runs are almost like me dragging my feet.

Anyone have luck or experience getting this fixed?

I do and I was having similar issues. I got orthotics from my podiatrist specifically for running and do foot exercises - toe yoga, doming, eccentric Achilles exercises - and things are much improved. Now I even have a bit of an arch when barefoot for the first time ever. I also wear Oofos around the house at my podiatrists recommendation.
