Best walking shoes for flat feet
Reading time: 5 minutes | Last updated: December 5, 2025
If your arches tend to collapse when you walk – a common trait of flat feet – the right walking shoes can make a huge difference. At Wolky, we specialize in comfortable footwear. With our anatomically shaped footbeds, your arches will be properly supported. Let’s read more about the best walking shoes for flat feet.
What to look for in the best walking shoes for flat feet
Here are the most important features you want to check off:
1 | Built-in arch support & stable midsole
A contoured arch support helps distribute your weight more evenly, rather than letting your arch collapse, which reduces strain on tendons and joints.
2 | Firm, well-structured sole with proper cushioning
A midsole that’s too soft or flimsy will just collapse under your weight – defeating the purpose. Look for a semi-firm midsole that offers shock absorption while preserving stability.
3 | Good heel support & stable heel counter
A reinforced heel area helps maintain correct foot alignment and prevents excessive inward rolling (overpronation).
4 | Removable insole for your own orthotics
This gives flexibility if you use custom insoles or want to upgrade for extra support.
