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.

Yes. I have low arches and basically flat feet. These are a little uncomfortable at first, but after breaking in are now very comgortable.. Hope you have the same results!

I'm not certain they will help your knees and hips, but they did help my ankles stop hurting.I think they are worth a try.

Travelling yes, running, though I have never tried, from what I can see by the design, I doubt they would fair well for running. They aren't the most snug fit. At least on my head. I mean they are perfect for normal walking but I am willing to bet you would probably have to stop to adjust them from time to time if you were running with them on. For me, they just don't feel like they would stay in place if I ran with them.

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.

NO, its makes your leg stiff for protection but can be difficult to run in, I used it to play football, ended up taking them off because of the tightness and immobility it caused. Your better off purchasing a 2nd degree or 1st degree wrap if you want run in them. This is for 3rd degree ankle sprains. Don't get me wrong though there strong and great for it your not doing any physical activity and provide great protection for until you get back to 100%. Best of Luck.

I don't really know how they would work for a long distance runner, but they have been the most helpful insert I have found yet - and I have tried many. I don't know what your foot issues are exactly but if I don't put these in my shoes, I can tell within a few hours.

I used these for plantar faciatis but I would asume they would be great for flat feet too. Same type of condition. Good luck!

Yes. However, depending on how high your arch is, you may also want to use an insert. I purchased the shoes because I need arch support beyond what I normally get in some running shoes.

I am not a sports medicine expert by any means, however, I find them perfect on uneven ground. They hold your ankle firmly in position. It works for my sprained ankle.

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 think they'd work well, it just depends on if you'd want that look. By the way, I just did a 5K mud run on this past Saturday and I didn't lose my shoes once.

I agree with the other writers, you can E-mail or call the company. I am excited to say that my feet have all but quite hurting. Now it has taken almost a year and I no longer run long distances. But my feet feel great. I do get on the treadmill and elliptical just not as far as I used to. I also walk about 5 mile per day as a nurse. So if you can get them the size you want; then do it. Your feet will thank you.

If you wear arch supports in your running shoes, it would be worth trying in training. I have mixed some jogging in with my walking. Not a marathon but but they helped during and after.

Hello, I would take a look at the Spenco RX full length insole. That will help with flat feet. Nicole

They will if you wearing heavy socks and slacks. I wear a pair of pull-on knits which are comfortable to exercise in. My ankles are very small (I wear a 2 petite) and I find they do slip a little. The key is to really hold them tight and make sure you put them on tight. Good luck with your ankles.

Not with minimalist shoes, but I've found mine irritating to run long distances with normal running shoes. They are great for hiking on uneven ground, softball and pickup basketball.
