Do running shoe inserts for flat feet help?

Asked a year ago

I’ve got flat feet and running has been tough lately. My arches ache after even short jogs, and I’m worried it’ll get worse. I saw some running shoe inserts for flat feet online, but I don’t know if they’re worth buying. Any real experiences or advice?

I was skeptical about custom orthotics but they honestly saved my training. Store-bought inserts only helped temporarily, while orthotics fixed my gait and eased strain. Took a couple of days to get used to, but now I can run longer and harder without worrying about foot pain or discomfort.
