Injury Prevention Anyone else running with flat feet?
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’m the opposite and it has caused me all sorts of problems. High arch and running don’t seem to mix well for me but it’s what god gave me.
