Hi Kim,

i’ve been reading your blog for some time now. i have the same flat foot/low arch problem that you have, and i strongly recommend this brand called GoodArch. The shoes are custom made to fit, and have corrective purposes. It can realign your spine, reduce bunions, correct your posture etc.

The only downside is that you have to wear the foot pads with their shoes, and their designs are not very pretty.

The custom made foot pads + 2 pairs of shoes cost more than rm2000 i think. It is expensive, but offers the best follow up services compared to its competitors.

i have feet like that too! And i think its thanks to the many years of wearing ballet shoes! It’s difficult to wear heels and stuff and it looks so ugly

I did not dare to watch the video for fear of blood. I agree it is very important to wear proper shoes. I am always in flip flops so much that I can’t wear covered shoes now without getting serious blisters all over!! I bought a pair of skechers in HK cus my parents could not tahan seeing me walking around in flip flops. Very comfy. http://www.skechers.com/

Hi Kim, for the flat feet and low arch problem, perhaps buying special arch support from podiatrists will help. I have a “collapsing arch” problem so I buy lots and lots of those arch support and the height of the arch support is really important. Too low will not help, but too high will hurt your feet. Hope that helps.

I’d say the culprit is Ballet & high heeled shoes.
It also would never have entered my head, until this post, to call it an “embarrassing” condition.

Like this post, it is good to take care of feets instead of wearing heels all the time, i don’t know some girls seems to be able to wear heels 24/7

Get a pair of Geox. I used to have HK feet and it ended because I wore Geox. I got HK feet from working too. 12 hours in shoes!

Hi Kim! I’m a fan of your blog and I finally decided to leave a comment on your blog because you made me realise why my feet was constantly hurting even when I wear the most comfortable shoes! I have invested in probably almost a hundred of shoes right now and I still can’t find one which doesn’t hurt. The one which came closest to it was my pair of UGG boots. It’s sad really, because like you, I’m a fan of fabulous high heels! And I can’t wear them all the time. I have to step out in flats and just change them right before I arrive at the location.

Anyway, great job with this post and I look forward to reading more solutions about it! Thanks
