Flat feet

[TyphooToffee]

I've got fallen arches (flat feet) and for as long as I can remember I've been wearing UK size 12 trainers even though the wide shoes I bought are size 10½. It means I'm less likely to blow over in a gale but it also means I have to wear two pairs of socks to stop my feet from sliding forward and back inside.

I was going to add a lot more but thought I'd ask who else suffers the same and what measures you've taken?

Ok so I know this is a joke but keep reading this and remain confused

I got insoles made on the NHS (pre-austerity). They were ace for work as I was on my feet all day, and used to get serious pain,

I never walk anywhere barefooted and always wear crocs or flip flops round the house.

Maybe I should have said blowing from behind

I've got NHS insoles too. I have to remove the insoles of whatever shoes I've got because I can't use the NHS ones on top. I found out today that I have to pay for them now and that they aren't bespoke as I assumed they were.

True. I wear size 13-15 socks because 6-11 are always too small. I wear thick quarter socks with trainer socks over the top so my size 12 Skechers feel tighter. The great thing about Amazon is the range of sizes available.

I also have this but am unsure whether to offer any serious advice

I've since discovered FitVille shoes. They have a more room in the toe box and also come in wide and extra wide. They're and American company and there's a big market for them there mostly due to the high rate of diabetes (due to the high sugar content of American food - believe me, I've just spent 18 days there) and obesity caused by it, and the lack of exercise due to the need to drive everywhere.

Yeah righto, I'm not a fatty or anything but I had some issues with my right foot and it turned out it was a flat foot causing one of the midfoot joints to rub together and basically cause the joint to be arthritic, I was going to get custom orthodics made but was quoted over $1200 for them so have just ignored it for the last 2 years or so and it hasn't got any worse.
