Women's Boots For Flat Feet
Flat feet, also known as pes planus or fallen arches, is a deformity where your feet have little-to-no arch in the sole. As such, people with flat feet have the entire sole of their foot coming into complete or near-complete contact with the ground.
Genetics can play a role in having flat feet. Notably, all babies have flat feet, but some won’t ever develop normal arches, thus leading to flat feet in adulthood. In some cases, flat feet can form after your arches have formed naturally. This can happen due to injuries like foot fractures, or diseases and conditions such as arthritis, diabetes-related nerve damage, and chronic tendonitis.
While standing, check the inner sides of your feet. If your feet are flat on the ground, then you have flat feet. If the inside part of your foot is raised off the ground while you’re standing, then you do not have flat feet. Another simple way to tell if you have flat feet is by doing a “wet test”. Wet your feet, then step on a piece of paper or cardboard. A footprint that shows the entire outline of your foot, with little to no curve on the inside, is indicative of flat feet.
Although flat feet aren’t inherently unhealthy, people with flat feet may be more prone to foot pain after walking or exercise. They may also suffer from ankle pain and instability, chronic pain even when not in movement, and pain in the lower back, knees, or hips.
Most people do not require treatment for flat fleet, especially if they don’t experience any symptoms. If you occasionally suffer from mild aches and pain from flat feet, you can try conservative treatment such as physical therapy, orthotics, and over-the-counter medication. You can also try some exercises at home, like toe spreads, heel raises, and stretches.
Look for boots that have proper cushioning and provide orthotic support to ensure your feet stay comfortable and supported as you go about your day. With Chelsea boots, ankle boots, knee high boots, and even sleek heeled boots, The Walking Company offers a vast collection of boots for women that you can pair with any outfit. No matter what the occasion, our comfortable boots for women are always crafted with your comfort in mind, ensuring your steps are supported in style.
Ankle Boots:
Ankle booties sit at a perfect height around your ankles and are easy shoes that help enhance any outfit. We offer short boots like the ABEO Compass Zip that are not only easy to style, they’re also a breeze to wear as well thanks to convenient double zipper closures.
Knee High Boots:
For something with a more striking cut that will easily keep you warm during the colder months, a pair of knee-high boots are a stylish must-have in your wardrobe. While our knee-high boots – like the ABEO Avenue Tall – are undeniably fashion-forward, they never compromise on your comfort. Our boots are engineered to be ergonomic and supportive, built with orthotic footbeds that cushion your feet wherever you go.
Heeled Boots:
In need of some added height with your boots? The Walking Company boots provide the elegant boost you’re looking for while promising serious comfort with every step. You never have to worry about foot pain and fatigue in sleek boots like the ABEO Metropolis Zip, which are both fashionable and functional thanks to a comfortable orthotic footbed.
Lace Up Boots:
Lace up boots are great for when you want a more rugged look to your outfits. They provide a more customized fit with their laces, ideal for when you want some adjustability with your boots. The ABEO Vista Lace is a warm and cozy option, keeping you supported thanks to its built-in orthotics and securing your feet in place with a lace-up vamp.
The Walking Company carries an extensive collection of brands that offer stylish and comfortable boots for women. Our selection includes some of the top brands in the market that adhere to the core principle of keeping your feet comfy and supported with trendy and classic silhouettes. If you’re in need of stylish women’s boots, look no further than The Walking Company.
Finding the best boots for daily wear will depend on your lifestyle and overall preferences. However, we recommend a more versatile silhouette – like ankle boots or Chelsea boots – as these styles look flattering and can complement any outfit.
The width you need for your boots will depend on the width of your feet. If you usually experience discomfort and feel cramped in standard-width shoes, then you may need wider boots to better accommodate your feet. Feet bulging over the sides of your shoes is another sign that you may have wider feet.
ABEO shoes are engineered to provide your feet with innovative comfort built to last. Our comfortable shoes offer all-day comfort thanks to BIOsystem® Orthotic Technology that delivers the perfect balance of anatomical support, responsive cushioning, and balanced alignment. Besides being crafted for comfort and support, our shoes also come in a wide variety of styles and silhouettes, ensuring you always have the right pair of shoes for every occasion and terrain.
ABEO shoes are built to provide your feet with superior arch and heel support, ensuring proper weight distribution and balance when walking. More than just your typical pair of orthopedic shoes, we provide footwear that looks good while feeling good all day long.
Other innovative features and benefits of ABEO shoes include:
- Ergonomic cushioned soles soften steps to help foot and heel pain.
- Deep heel cup helps stabilize feet and align the body to minimize fatigue.
- Wider fit offers more room for wide or swollen feet.
- Weight balancing arch support and cushioned heel cup reduce shock to help relieve plantar fasciitis.
- Metatarsal footbed option has built-in metatarsal pad to help with forefoot pain.
- Spacious toe box and added depth helps reduce pressure.
