Address flat feet: Wait until your flat feet bother you, no matter what you wear. This is certainly likely. Flat feet can lead to any number of problems not limited to the feet/ankles. See your local area podiatrist who will discuss your need for orthotics which are more than arch supports. It's not about arch support. It's all about biomechanical control. Surgery is always an option, see hyprocure.Com.

Flat feet: There are several good answers to this already. My suggestion to you is to stop putting up with this deformity. Your feet are not working properly and this can be corrected. Sometimes a well constructed orthotic can provide relief provided your deformity is not rigid or your achilles tendon is not too tight. Other times surgery is required but ether way you do not have to put up with it.
