For at least 5 years now, I've had flat feet. I've got really flat feet, virtually no arch at all.
Whenever I do hard work on my feet, namely... running & dancing. The arch in my feet burns up so badly, and my calves tighten up so much.
This usually keeps me off the dancefloors.
Up until... a few months ago, my answer to this was to roll, whenever I went out. That way I could dance the night away (or at least try too... *grins at anyone who may have another comment about this*)
Recently, wearing my trusty royals. I haven't had too many problems with this. Though when converting to my nike runners, they flare up almost instantly.
Looking at my shoes, my royals with their soles removed... have virtually no arch in them, which is why they're fine... i guess!
My nikes, have a huge arch, and im guessing this is why i get so much pain now.
I know orthotix (spelling?) are the first answer.. but i've tried them, and they didnt really seem to work for me...
My royals are really really really... worn out, and i need new shoes. I'm just worried about buying a pair, which will cause me so much pain.
Anyway, the main question is... has anyone else been blessed with flat feet, and if so... what were your ways around it??
