Shoe & Insole Database
Every product we've reviewed for flat feet, in one filterable table. Sort by whichever score actually matters for your situation, not just the overall number.
How we score every product
Every product on this site is scored 0-10 on five criteria, using the same methodology across every review:
- Stability — how firm and structured the support is. Higher isn't automatically better: it's a good thing for significant arch collapse and can be more shoe than a mild, flexible flat foot needs.
- Cushioning — impact absorption and plushness underfoot.
- Wide-foot friendliness — how well the product accommodates a wider forefoot, factoring in available width options and last shape.
- Value — how much genuine support is delivered relative to price, not just whether it's cheap.
- Durability — how long the product holds up under regular use before support or cushioning noticeably breaks down.
The overall score is a simple average of those five. Every sub-score is derived directly from the reasoning already written in that product's full review — this isn't a separate, independent rating system layered on top, so the numbers should never contradict the text. If you ever spot one that does, let us know.
What this database doesn't cover
This reflects only the products we've actually reviewed so far — currently 15 shoes and insoles across running, walking, work, gym, sandals, insoles, and everyday casual wear. It's not a scan of the entire market. Want a faster, guided path to one recommendation instead of browsing the table? Try the Shoe Finder quiz, or use the compare tool to put two or three side by side.
Frequently asked questions
How is the overall score calculated?
It's a simple average of five 0-10 sub-scores: stability, cushioning, wide-foot friendliness, value, and durability. Each sub-score is derived directly from the reasoning already written in that product's full review, so the numbers won't contradict the text.
Does a higher score mean a product is better for everyone?
No. A high stability score, for example, is a good thing if you have significant arch collapse and a less useful trait if your flat feet are mild and flexible. Sort by whichever metric actually matters for your situation, not just the overall number.
Is this every shoe on the market for flat feet?
No, only the products we've actually reviewed on this site so far. We're adding more over time, but this database reflects our current catalog, not the entire market.
