Hot Styles for Women with Flat Feet

Does having flat mean blah footwear that looks more medical than stylish? Banish the thought for today a range of ladies slippers, sandals, slip-ons have been designed to support the foot arch and still look fabulous!

Points to keep in mind when shopping for ladies footwear/sandals or slippers

 

If you suffer from flat foot then just keep these small but crucial factors in mind and then shop away.  Lack of an arch means your feet are more prone to stress as the arch serves as a natural shock absorber. So you need to buy footwear that provides arch support and better cushioning.

1. The foot wear must provide arch support that’s right for your foot shape. Only wearing them will give you the idea.
2. Make sure the footwear gives you good side space. If your feet keep sliding off on either side, the arch support will be of little use.
3. Raised insoles. It has been found that shoes or sandals with raised insoles provide better support to the middle feet and that’s simply raises the comfort level.
4. Ensure that the sole is well cushioned but not so soft that feet sink in, instead of being supported.
5. The moment the sole cushioning loses its firmness and flattens out, throw them out.
6. Alternatively, you can buy arch supports and wear them for an evening out, whatever be the footwear!

Now that you know what to watch out for, let your inner shopping goddess out and choose away.

Cork heels: These are just about the best thing for you. Cork by nature takes on the natural curve of your feet and can give support to just the right places.

Casual Shoes: Most good walking and casual shoes are light weight, ergonomically designed with extra room for free toe movements. 

Smart tie-up or gladiator ladies sandals: These provide extra support to the Achilles tendon and still look super cool. Colourful bands and exotic tying strings make these women footwear a joy to wear.

Uber fun flip flops: Today’s flip flops come with extra cushioning and great arch support. Just slip them on and hang out in style.

With such a range of options available, your feet gets so much of choice to look hot, sexy and simply hot, flat foot or not!
