See below: It is good that your circulation is good, but that does not relate to the pain of your flat feet. See a podiatrist for evaluation and treatment to relieve your foot pain.

Possible: Nerve entrapment or neuroma. See local podiatrist for examination. May need something as simple as orthotics or nsaids.
