I'd worry more about the size m8, no wonder they're flat

Do they sell “super feet” insoles in the UK? They have worked for me. They make low-profile ones.

I was sent to a podiatrist by my doc, when I realised I had flat feet. As I walked in the podiatrist said, "yeah they're flat .... I bet you have knee problems too."
Damn right. I'd suffered from patella tendonitis for around 15 years into my 30s until this fella made some inserts for my shoes that encouraged me to arch my feet. My tendonitis cleared up in a matter of days. It's to do with knee rotation caused by fallen arches.
I'd been to the docs multiple times about my knee problem before giving up and just tolerating it With pain killers on his advice. It was agonising after and during sport.
That doc probably robbed me of a pro football career. At least that's what I told myself.

Mrs Lobworm lashed mine out with my old shoes. Fewwwming.
My issue was exacerbated by plantar fasciitis which came and went until I had acupuncture about 4 years ago.
I think that's a thing of the past unless it actually causes you pain already…in the event of a war, you’re unlikely to be called-up
With Hoka recovery slides too.
I’ve got metarsalgia in one foot and although they’re ugly as sun, they’re a godsend.
Go and see a podiatrist mate, it’s worth the money to get things sorted out.
I can recommend a very good one if you’re in the North West
I should have mentioned that I was staying in Tennessee (Bristol) where, if you didn't own a car, you didn't get go anywhere, so the lack of exercise is understandable. My American daughter-in-law is a nurse practitioner and I suppose her high wage reflects the cost of medical care over there.
What age bracket are you and how do you feel about having to just put up with it for however long you might have to? To us Brits it seems shocking that those suffering in other countries have to pay for medical care we need it. It's not free because we pay a National Insurance - we just don't get billed after being discharged from a NHS hospital. At my age more and more friends and relations are in need of various care: two broken hips and another three hip replacements already in 2024!
I'll find out later as I'm looking for another pair
Out of interest, NI does contribute but most of the funding comes from general taxation, e.g. income tax.
I used to get knee pain too. I also wear down the outsides of the heels of shoes. I rarely wear shoe shoes - being retired I can wear what Iike, which means trainers/sneakers which are generally more forgiving. I just have the one pair of black, wide-fit shoes for weddings and funerals.I was sent to a podiatrist by my doc, when I realised I had flat feet.

Yes, I imagine it does.
At 71 I imagine that's unlikely anyway!…in the event of a war, you’re unlikely to be called-up
I'm in London but thanks anyway. Reading replies here I am less in need of specialist care than most as my problem is having wide feet that spread due to fallen arches. I only need insoles and wide shoes.Go and see a podiatrist mate, it’s worth the money to get things sorted out.
