Flat-Footed People of the World, Unite!

I started this blog because I have trouble finding shoes thanks to my flat feet. How much trouble? A ridiculous amount. I comb shoe stores searhing for the perfect fit only to be disappointed over and over again. I know I'm not alone in this!

How did I wind up with flat feet? Actually, it's flat foot; for some reason my left foot is flat as a pancake. It wasn't flat when I was a kid, but now it is. And I just have to deal with it.

This is a particular problem when you want to buy running shoes. The repetitive stress of running can cause serious foot pain if you are wearing the wrong shoes. And not everyone has the luxury of shopping at a well-stocked specialty running shop.

I started this blog to offer reviews of shoes that in my experience are comfortable for flat-footed people. I am going to start with men's shoes, since I can't try on women's shoes. However, if you have tips on comfortable shoes, or if there are shoes you'd like me to review, please email me or leave a comment on the blog. Thanks!
