Stability before softness
When arches keep collapsing, firmer guidance usually works better than extra softness alone.

Flat feet support FAQ
Do people with flat feet need daily support even when pain is mild?
Usually yes. Flat-feet fatigue often accumulates quietly. Daily stability helps reduce repeated collapse before soreness becomes a bigger end-of-day problem.
What are the best insoles for flat feet if soft shoes still hurt?
Look for controlled arch guidance and heel stability first. If summer footwear is the main trigger, start with supportive sandals before adding insoles inside closed shoes.
Should I start with Recovery Slide or Propel Flip for summer flat-feet support?
Start with Recovery Slide when home-floor soreness is stronger. Start with Propel Flip when you need breathable all-day support for walking outside home.
When should flat-feet shoppers move to Heavy Duty instead?
Move to Heavy Duty when pain is driven by long standing in work shoes, higher body load, or when open footwear still cannot provide enough in-shoe control.
