Finding the right minimalist shoe that will be comfortable when you have flat feet can be difficult. And let’s face it these are barefoot running shoes. They are not going to provide much in the manner of arch support. What you want is a shoe that will mold to the shape of your foot and not provide too high of an arch (again these are minimalist shoes so that is not a worry). Below I have listed what I believe are the best minimalist shoes for runners with flat feet:
New Balance Minimus– A good rule of thumb when shoe shopping is when in doubt, buy New Balance. New Balance are always quality made sneakers that are made for form and function and accommodate feet of all shapes and sizes. This New Balance has a RevLite midsole which may help your foot with shock absorption during ambulation.
Merrel Trail Glove 2 Trail Running Shoe– This shoe stands out because its midsole is manufactured using EVA. What is EVA? It is a material commonly used in the construction of orthotics. EVA will provide support and contour to the shape of your foot, like I recommended above.
Vivobarefoot Ultra Running Shoe– There is that material again ,EVA. If you have flat feet and if the shoes are equal I would choose the shoe that utilizes EVA in the midsole or footbed like this shoe does.
