A member asked:

4 flat feet&overpronation over-pronation walking shoes necessary or orthotics. orthotics not proven 2 work over-pronation walking shoes proven 2 work?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Orthotics: Custom made would be best option. Store bought orthotics are really for an average type arch which would not give you enough support. I don't think the shoe has much value.
