Finding the best shoes when you have flat feet can be hard. Trying to find something as specialized as Softball cleats when you have flatfeet can be almost impossible. What do you look for in softball cleats with flat feet? Well one option if you have orthotics is to purchase a softball cleat that accommodates an orthotic well.
However, if you are looking for a cleat that will help your flat foot without an orthotic you need to look for a softball cleat that has a moderate arch, not a high arch as that will just cause your foot more pain. Also, the softball cleat needs to have width to accomodate your flat foot, as well as a deep solid heel cup. Below I have listed what I believe to be the best softball cleats for flat feet.
Mizuno 9 Spike– Mizuno has the width to fit a flat foot comfortably as well as moderate arch support. What sets Mizuno apart is they have an EVA molded footbed. This footbed will contour to fit your arch and place no undo stress or strain on the arch of your foot. If your biggest issue is pain due to a flat foot, then I would highly recommend Mizuno 9 Spike.
Mizuno 9-Spike Finch Elite Switch Women’s Softball Cleats. Light, performance molded cleat for the elite fastpitch athlete. 9-Spike Advanced Outsole designed for fastpitch. Parallel outsole wave provides for cushioning and stability. Full length midsole for maximum comfort. Color cards to customize to your team’s colors.

New Balance WF7534-New Balance is the best shoe company on the market if your foot is not perfect. New Balance softball cleats can be fit to the width of your foot if your foot is too wide for a cleat. New Balance Softball Cleats also features a dual density REVlite midsole to help support your arch and contour to your arch at the same time.
