really? not even for running? I used to be ok jogging 3 to 4 times a week, but when i started replacing some of the days for HIIT, I got shin splints, so I had to stop running all together... It sucks.. Going to get myself checked to see what I can do about it....
to be honest my knees hurt from time to time now that i think about it
don't know if its from the flat feet or not
I just don't know if I was jogging or running wrong. I got shin splints... Also, about 6 months back, I got this pain below my ankles when I tried leaning in a certain angle so I stopped running... To this day I still feel it...
The good thing about it however is you most likely have insane flexibility, agility and speed compared to most people. I also noticed I jumped higher than any other lad in school.
It also depends on what type of flat feet you have. You either have flexible flatfeet, meaning it only becomes flat when you stand with you weight on it. Or they're always flat, weight or no weight on it. The last is worse.
Do you actually train with those things on? Because I found it to be very painfull on my arches while training.
I was told by my doc that you have to walk on them for 4-6 weeks before running on them. He's right cause I started running on them as soon as I got them and I was in more pain than before. So I took his advice and never looked back
