Finding the best shoes, when you have flat feet is difficult. Finding the best field hockey shoes or cleats for people with flat feet can be even harder. What do you look for in a field hockey cleat for people with flat feet? You want a cleat with a moderate arch which will not put too much pressure on your low arch. What will happen if you get a high arch? It will place strain upon your foot and your arch causing a fatigue feeling in your foot. Additionally, you want a deep seated heel cup to help control some of the excessive motion with your flat feet. The other trait to look for is padding in the heel to help reduce the stress and strain put upon your foot. What are some examples of Field Hockey shoes that are good for flat feet?
One to recommend is ASICS Gel Lethal MP5 Field Hockey Shoe– This shoe is perfect for the flat footed player who suffers from a great deal of pain in their heel. It also features an EVA molded midsole, which will contour to the specific arch of your foot, reducing your pain and discomfort.
The other Field Hockey Shoe I recommend for players with flat feet is Adidas Unisex Hockey Shoe– This is similar to the ASICS shoe above in that it has a compression molded EVA midsole, which I happen to think is ideal for people with flat feet.
