I was born with flat feet. By now they're probably convex. I've been able to get by with off-the-shelf orthotics, so far. Even for my weekly hikes. I'm sure your doctor will give you directions, but break them in gradually!

Almost a week later, my ankle doesn't look or feel much better. I will probably spend the rest of day laying on the sofa. Last edited by Alexander Turcic; 09-23-2012 at 04:23 AM. |

I like the first picture you've posted in this thread extreeeemely better than the second one!
I'm afraid your feet and ankle will only get better after they have changed from every imaginable color to every imaginable color (including black!). Healing vibes! |

Apologies. I should have put up a warning disclaimer.

Damn, that looks painful still!
And my entirely non-medical point of view on orthotics is, if your shoes are well made and support your feet, pass on the orthotics. I let a Podiatrist talk me into orthotics as an adult, and they changed my gait so much I started having problems with my hips and knees that I didn't have before! Now, I just live in Dansko clogs and my (high) arches are blissful. |

flat feet can throw you into a knock kneed position (eventually) and knock your hips out of alignment, it also puts undue stress on your knees |
