Which shoes are best for arch support?

When you are purchasing, shoes do you look and think about if your shoes are allowing the arch support that you need? Spendless is here to help you understand which shoes are best for arch support.


What is arch support?


There are a few different types of arch support, which are flat foot/low arch, average arch and high arch.

A flat foot/low arch is where it rolls inwards, but this can cause knee pain. The second type is normal arch which is where the foot has a normal arch which rolls in slightly. Average arch usually experiences issues, and this kind of arch usually requires medical support. The high arch is the final type of arch for a foot.


What is the best type of shoe?


Flat feet


The best type of shoes for flat feet can be found by looking for a kind of shoe that allows for a little more cushion than another person. This means that you may have to add an innersole into your shoe which can be found on our website to add a little more comfort. Therefore, the best type of shoes for people who experience flat feet would be to look in our men’s sneaker or work/school shoes range which gives a little more added comfort than another type of shoe or our women’s school/work and sneaker range which also provides support to the foot. Also, the women a more dresser style to look for would be something with a block heel such as a mules range which will give stability but also allow for comfort without bringing your arch up too high making it uncomfortable.
