Saucony Men's Echelon 8 Running Shoe

Product Information

Stability and comfort are what make the HOKA Arahi 6 an excellent choice for runners looking for a wide shoe for daily training. This shoe is designed to keep your ankles from rolling too far inward without forcing them too far outward, either. Plus, it provides maximum cushioning while still being stable at high running speeds. We also like how ASICS has customized the Gel-Kayano 28 to work with the differences in gait between men and women. While it may be a pricier option, its performance, durability, and classic design make it our top choice for runners with flat feet. What We Like

Flat feet are usually painless, but in some cases, they can cause pain even with running and walking. For distance runners, in particular, a cushioned shoe is key to staying pain-free during those long runs. The Saucony Endorphin Shift 2's cushioning is unmatched. A 38-millimeter cushion between your heel and the ground keeps your foot comfortable while you run. Saucony's PWRRUN cushioning is firm and supportive, while still being gentle enough to support sensitive feet. The New Balance Fresh Foam 860v13 works well for women specifically because it runs smaller and narrower than other running shoes. And for those with flat feet, it provides arch support for cushioning, as well as a medial post to keep your foot from overpronation. Available in both wide and narrow size options, the stability and structure this shoe offers will keep your feet and ankles safe and secure during your runs. But unlike other stability options, it doesn't sacrifice comfort to do so. It has plenty of soft, comfortable cushioning that provides that bounce we look for in an elite running shoe. Keep in mind that because this shoe is focused on stability, it may not perform as well in speed training. What We Like Running shoes come with different amounts of arch support. Most people with flat feet need more arch support rather than less. But some types of arch support are designed to prevent overpronation, which is common among people with flat feet. It's a good idea to have your gait evaluated at a professional running store or by a podiatrist, so you know how much support or correction you need.

The upper of this Saucony model is perforated and very breathable. It allows air to pass over the foot during running. My feet remained fresh and ventilated at all times. The upper of this shoe also felt comfortable and did not cause any chafing. Supportive external heel counter There’s a little more to it. The inner mesh sleeve is actually made of 4 different kind of meshes, on the midfoot, midfoot sides, toebox, tongue… Runners with flat feet know that cushioning is everything. So, if you're someone who struggles with foot pain during your runs, the firmer cushion of this shoe may not work for you. What We Like The toe box is spacious, allowing the foot the splay and breathe without feeling trapped and uncomfortable.BUY: New Balance Men's Fresh Foam 1080v11 Best Trail Running Shoes for Flat Feet - Salomon X-Mission 3 That said, a shoe with a generous toe box doesn’t guarantee a wide fit in the mid-foot or heel. If you need room everywhere, make sure the shoe is marked wide, 2E, 4E, or wider. Focus on function If you have wide feet or issues with hammer toes or metatarsalgia, which causes the ball of your foot to become inflamed, look for shoes with a wider toe box.

If you’re a trail runner, opt for a shoe designed specifically for that terrain. Similarly, if the pavement is your go-to terrain, look for a shoe built to withstand hard surfaces.
