What do you suggest if i have been diagnosed with flat feet (pes planus)?

Orthotics: Flat Feet or Pes Valgo Planus causes the arch to internally and medially rotate while weight-bearing. This causes improper pull of the muscles and tendons in the feet and ankles. This can lead to hammertoes, bunions, heel spurs ect... I recommend a Biomechanically controlling orthotic device to control abnormal motion. See your local Podiatrist to evaluate and treat your condition.

Arch support: If you have painful flatfoot, arch support is very important. There are a few varieties: over the counter, prescription prefabricated and custom orthotics depending on the severity of your flat foot. I recommend you see a podiatrist for further evaluation.
