About FlatFeetRunning
Last updated: February 2026
FlatFeetRunning is an independent editorial site covering one thing properly: running with flat feet. No general fitness content, no filler — stability shoes, insoles, fit, and the mechanics behind them.
Why this site exists
Most “best running shoe” lists treat flat feet as a footnote. Flat-footed runners deal with a specific set of problems — arch collapse, overpronation, medial knee load, and finding width options that actually fit. Every guide here starts from one of those problems and works towards a concrete recommendation.
Who runs it
FlatFeetRunning is written and edited by Arend Wier, a recreational distance runner with flat feet who got tired of buying the wrong shoes. Every article on the site is reviewed and approved by a human before publication. Contact: arendwier@gmail.com.
