are they good for flat feet and feet that hurt from ankles down when running and your feet do not walk forward in them

These have a lot of arch support. I only walk in them. My feet do not move forward in them at all.

I use them for walking only. The arch isn't very high, but they are comfortable and I've had 5 pairs over the years. Because of the mesh they are good if you have problems in the big toe area (like bunions).

These shoes are very good for walking all day, but I don't run at all. I bought a second pair just to be sure I could still get that style.

Absolutely! They were for my husband following an extended illness. He has used them both with and without shoes and prefers them barefoot. The little nobs on them help stimulate circulation in the feet. Hope this helps.

Certainly. The only thing I've found I need to be careful of, is that compression hose that stretch tightly on the foot (which these do not on me) will develop holes from friction very quickly inside running shoes.

If you are looking for a defined arch support this would not work. They are a very thin gel insert. They have placed the gel and designed the bottom just right to relieve certain pressure points in the feet. I have plantar fasciitis and they work GREAT for this. I do have a pair in my running/walking shoes and they are great for me, but I don't have flat feet. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have plantar fasciitis, and have used these (in this type, and also the smaller one for shoes and PF) in all my shoes for over a year. I have flat feet. I also find that shoes with negative heels, like Earth brand shoes are helpful, as they help stretch the arch. I used to wear harder bottomed shoes, like birkenstocks, but these have eliminated about 90% of my pain. I walk on a treadmill 6x per week, for about an hour. I highly recommend these inserts.

Hi Sarah, So although I don't have flat feet I would say that those are comfortable for people with flat feet. My feet gets tired easily with it so I think it may be even more comfortable for those with flat feet.

I have high arches, and they work well for my feet... I'm not a podiatrist, but I suspect the hard arch support might be a little much for flat feet

I myself do not have flat feet however they are very comfortable. I think they would help.

I am not a runner but can tell you that these socks are very for fitted. They do not slide down into the shoe. They make thinner versions for specific activities. But if you are running in cold weather these would serve well.

Yes, It will help you if you have flat feet. You should give a try. Thank you for your interest.

Probably not. I bought them for my daughter and they did not stay on her feet very long. Unfortunately, I cannot suggest you buy them for that reason.

Honestly I mean I guess it would depend what you were doing in them. I run in them and love them and they have awesome sound. Now would I use them during my martial arts and stuff? Not likely but if you wanna run I don't think I have ever had a pair of s11's fall off so I would recommend and I'm not running usually on just flat ground it could be any terrain so I hope that helps ya out.

I bought these for my husband , who has major foot problems, they do have a stick side that adheres to the foot, but I really don't know how long they would stay on going barefoot and if you are moving your feet around a lot.

Absolutely! They are soft...do not hurt your feet...but solid...they stay in place. They are smooth...do not get "hot". Enjoy!

I do believe the movements with your legs is still the same. Make sure there not to big, they may dig into the top of your shoe / foot.

I wish I had asked that question before purchasing. No, they are not -- lucky for me I wear mostly flats. But it's not suitable for heels.

You can, but have to walk stiff legged as it does not allow the ankle to bend, they have helped my Plantar Fasciiitis though. I have been wearing them for about 8 years now.
