We talked to podiatrists about what to look for when buying flats so you don’t have to buy a ton of shoes online, try them on, and deal with the hassle of returning them if they hurt your feet.
Some of the shoes in our roundup have a few days’ breaking-in period, which is normal. “Flats generally tend to be lightweight, so flats that have more support will often provide more stiffness and thickness in the overall shoe and especially the arch area,” says Dr. Mendeszoon, DPM, FACFAS, FACPM, physician spokesperson for the American Podiatric Medical Association and footwear expert.ĭepending on the individual’s foot type, it is important to try the flats on and feel if the shoe provides the proper amount of cushioning or support. “A flat should fit comfortably not only in length but also should have ample room in the toe box and a good comfortable arch,” says Mark J.
For one reason or another-perhaps because of foot problems like bunions and plantar fasciitis-we’re bypassing heels for comfortable flats for walking so we can be “on the move” and feel good doing it. Many of us wear flats because we want comfortable shoes we can walk in that still look nice with jeans, work clothes, or eveningwear.
