Support Your Fallen Arches With the Right Shoes

Do you suffer with flat feet as an adult? While some people are born with flat feet, it’s possible to develop them at a later age from injury and improper fallen arch support. Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) – or ‘fallen arches’ – is where the tendon that stabilizes the arches becomes too weak to hold the arches up. Gradually, a lowering of the arches occurs, bringing a flurry of new problems. The resulting flatfoot condition can cause discomfort and even change the shape of your feet.

PTTD is not fun! Pain, inflammation, and a rolling of the ankle inwards are a few symptoms that you’ll want to avoid. If left unchecked, fallen arches can get worse with time, affecting your ability to do activities like running, sports, and more.

To maintain proper alignment of the feet and prevent injury, it’s important to wear the right footwear, no matter what age you are. Below, we’ve selected some of the best shoes for fallen arches.

Keep Your Fallen Arches Supported In Leather Boots

When choosing shoes for flat feet, look for superior insoles with arch and metatarsal support. Our Crave boot is a dream for the cooler months, with premium removable footbeds that can be swapped out for custom orthotics. These boots have a thick, sturdy heel and durable sole, making them perfect fallen arches shoes.

They’re beautifully crafted in Portugal with soft, supple leather, so you can feel stylish and comfortable wherever your adventure leads you. You may even stand up straighter in this supportive base!
