Here is a list of the barefoot running shoes that will make any runner improve and preserve arch height: The interaction between the bare foot and the ground shapes the arch of the foot in ways that makes it stronger and more resilient as compared to the average shod runner’s foot.

Many studies have found that runners who stop wearing running shoes and run barefoot, develop feet that have more flexible responses to stress and loading during running. This may sound like a risky situation in terms of injury, but it is not. Therefore, believe it or not, the best running shoes for flat feet are those that do not have arch support or any supportive features of that nature.īarefoot running shoes are ideal for the flat-footed runner because such footwear forces the foot to modulate impact loads during running. In order for the arch of the foot to grow stronger, it needs to learn to cope with the natural impact stresses of running. Supportive running shoes are strongly associated with flat feet (i.e poor arch strength) because the foot overall, has lost its adaptive ways to deflect impact during running.
