I had two different doctors tell me I needed motion-control shoes after just seeing my flat feet. Trust me, find a good running shoe store and get the gait analysis. Specifically, I had one use a video camera to film my feet from behind while running on a treadmill. He could SHOW me exactly what was going on. There are a few shoes made specifically for neutral-flat runners: I've been using New Balance 882 and 883 (new model 840), about to buy Saucony Echelon 2, also, Brooks makes the Dyad 6. All these have a wider last to accomodate the wider footprint due to low/no arch without trying to unnaturally shove an arch into our feet. Bottom line, get the gait analysis and get in the right shoe from the beginning. Best to all! I’m a neutral, flat-footed runner.

Every person and every foot is different, but unless you already have an extremely efficient running gait I am afraid that a barefoot running shoes would only accentuate the pain and discomfort you are having. A good barefoot running shoe - in my opinion - can be used _in addition_ to a normal, more structured shoe in order to strengthen your muscles - but I woulnd't jump on it as my only running shoe. Can I ask you what shoes you have tried, so maybe I can understand better what you didn't like ? Peter – honestly – I wouldn’t start with a “barefoot” running shoe.

I really need to start running again, so I tried all the motion control shoes and stability shoes that were suggested for my flat feet. Needless to say they are extremely uncomfortable, and they have started to hurt almost my entire lower body because there so clunky and awkward to run in. So I've been reading up on this whole "Barefoot" running style and I want to try it out. So my question is what shoe would be best for me and my flat feet? I've looked at the Nike Free, Vibram Five Fingers, and the Merrell running shoe lines. Thanks. I have really flat feet, literally no arch on my foot what-so-ever.

In fact, I have turned that ankle, as a result, some 2 dozen times or more playing sports growing up. This flat footed UNDER-pronation has also caused knee problems in that knee; where there are no wear or knee problems with the othe foot.The only time I felt a notable difference and elimination of knee pain, was when a running store clerk gave me Brooks Dyad for flat feet.-NOT OVER-PRONATION- I could feel the difference in the step all the way through the leg in the first few steps in the store. The only thing I could assume, is being an athlete; maybe my foot over compensates to the outside of the foot to make up for it; I dont know. But I would definitely address your foot style, and not merely assume your running or step motion/style! And unfortunately, there are not many shoes specifically addressing UNDER-pronators. Which seems completely moronic; as that seems to be a much more problematic and unnatural motion compared to over-pronating!!
