The 9 Best Walking Shoes for Flat Feet of 2019

The Brooks Addiction Walker earns its spot on this list, thanks to its durability, incredible comfort, and exceptional support for those with flat feet. One of the shoe’s key features is its Extended Progressive Diagonal Rollbar at the arch of your foot. It provides excellent arch support and corrects mild overpronation, which ensures proper walking motion and dramatically reduces the amount of stress and potential injury to your ankles, knees, hips, and back. The shoe’s HydroFlow Technology, a dynamic fluid cushioning system in the heel and forefoot areas, also enhances the shoe’s comfort, support, as well as shock absorption.

The comfort, support, and stability of these shoes make them ideal for anyone who stands or walks a lot during the day. They come in a variety of colors and widths, as well as men’s versions, and even have a Velcro strap model. While they’re not the most attractive or stylish walking shoes on the market, the Brooks Addiction Walker is a smart choice for anyone with flat feet looking for a comfortable shoe that will hold up and give you the support you need.

An excellent choice for those with moderate overpronation, the Saucony Grid Omni Walker is a high-quality but budget-friendly walking shoe. The shoe’s insole and midfoot bridge design provide comfortable arch support for flat feet, and the SRC crash pads in the heel give additional comfort and shock absorption. Wearers say they’re comfortable right out of the box and feel like you’re walking on clouds. Whether you want to walk outside or on a treadmill, they’re a durable, stable shoe that will give you the support you need. The leather upper is soft and flexible, but it doesn’t help with breathability, so the Grid Omni shoes may not be the best choice for hot weather walking.

If you're looking for serious all-around comfort on your walks, these are the sneaks for you. With a flexible, breathable mesh upper and extra cushioning, these shoes will add comfort to your stride. The Omega Flex Grooves allow for more natural forefoot movement and fluidity, giving you the space you need to move while providing support.

If you’re into fitness walking and have flat feet, the Brooks Adrenaline is a great go-to shoe that will give you many miles of comfort and support. The shoe’s midsole is designed to promote progressive pronation control, as well as smoother transitions, for a smooth, fluid gait. The insole is removable, so you could always add your own custom inserts or orthotics if you prefer.

Brooks Adrenaline shoes are comfortable and supportive right out of the box, with no need for a break-in—period. With several different width options, they’re an excellent shoe for walkers with flat, wide feet who've experienced toe or heel pain due to narrow shoes. They’re also a good choice if you also do some running and want a supportive, durable running shoe. Die-hard Adrenaline fans also love that they look nice with causal outfits, so you can wear them when you’re not exercising. They’re available in both men’s and women’s models.

If style is one of your top priorities, you’ll like the look as well as the performance and durability of the New Balance 928v3. It also excels in the areas of comfort and support, making it a solid choice for women with flat feet. The insole is removable, so you can choose to use your own orthotics or inserts. Like other New Balance shoes, they’re available in different widths, so you can get a perfect fit.

The upper is made of leather or supple suede and also has mesh panels, so you’ll get good ventilation. The New Balance 928v3s are not as clunky-looking as some other walking shoes, and they come in a few different colors, including black, grey, white, and navy suede.

Designed with female flat feet in mind, the Vionic Walker is a lightweight but supportive shoe and a great value for the money. They’re comfortable right out of the box, but there’s also room to use your own custom orthotics if you remove the insoles. The combination of the water-resistant leather outsole and the breathable, moisture-wicking mesh lining make these shoes a good pick for any type of weather. They’re also a solid choice if you’ve had issues with plantar fasciitis, bunions, or other foot issues in the past. They come in four different colors and two different width options. Like the Brooks Addiction shoes, they’re not very stylish, but fans of the Vionics are willing to look past that, thanks to the exceptional support and stability.

Brooks Beast running shoes are ideal for men with a high degree of overpronation. Although they’re running shoes, they’re an excellent choice for men with flat feet who do a lot of walking or spend a lot of time on their feet. They’re available in a large range of sizes and widths to accommodate the smallest and biggest feet. Although they’re a heavy shoe compared to other lightweight running shoes, men appreciate the support, stability, and comfort they offer.

The women’s version of the Brooks Beast, this shoe is made for women with flat feet who severely overpronate. Despite the maximum support and cushioning, this shoe is lightweight, making it a solid choice for women who do distance walking or are on their feet all day long. It features exceptional arch support and cloud-like comfort.

Another exceptional Saucony walking shoe for flat feet, these stylish shoes are lightweight, yet still very supportive and durable. They’re athletic and sleek-looking, but have enough room in the toebox to be suitable for walkers with bunions, corns, or other foot issues. Saucony’s well-known PowerGrid midsole helps stabilize your foot, absorbs shock and redistributes pressure for a smooth, responsive stride. The shoe is available in white or black, medium or wide width, and there’s also a men’s model. It’s perfect for walkers with flat feet who want a quality shoe that looks sporty, not orthopedic.
