I
have
flat
feet,
what
type
of
supports
should
I
use?
To
answer
your
question
this
depends
on
how
much
control
you
are
looking
for,
I
would
have
to
know
what
your
activities
are.
Do
you
wear
dress
shoes,
casual
shoes
or
sneakers?
For
dress
shoes
I
recommend
the
Flexifly™
Micro
Thin
because
they
are
bio-mechanical
and
they
will
structurally
hold
you
feet
up
in
the
position
they
should
be.
For
casual
shoes
I
recommend
the
Flexifly™
Original
and
if
you
wear
sport
shoes
like
sneakers.
I
would
definitely
recommend
the Flexifly™
Sport
Generation
II.
What
is
an
Orthotic
by

mechanical

How
are
your
Arch
Supports
different
from
other
brand
arch
supports?
Our
one
of
a
kind
support
is
molded
from
a
high
density
polypropylene
medical
grade
plastic.
This
polypropylene
plastic
mold
has
a
semi-rigid
memory
maintaining
consistency
due
to
its
ribbed
crossed
pattern
reinforcement
on
the
plantar
aspect
making
this
support
superior
and
more
supportive,
maintaining
its
functional
dynamics
and
form
over
a
greater
period
of
time
then
most
over-the-counter
arch
supports.
I
have
low
arches
and
pronate.
I
am
looking
for
a
thin
arch
support
to
wear
in
my
dress
shoes.
Which
product
should
I
use?
The
Flexifly™
Micro
Thin
Support
is
a
very
good
choice.
This
support
is
the
thinnest
bio-mechanical
orthotic
support
in
the
market
available
today
for
serious
control
of
pronation
and
mid
to
low
arches.
This
support
gives
functional
control
to
your
foot.

How
should
I
expect
to
feel
when
first
wearing
these
orthotics?
Initially
upon
the
usage
of
supports
primarily
the
biomechanical
orthotics,
there
might
be
some
strain
and
tension
in
the
beginning
first
hours
of
usage,
if
this
occurs
we
recommend
initial
use
of
two
to
four
hours
daily
for
the
first
two
weeks
then
increase
weekly
the
amount
of
use
until
you
have
become
to
the
use
of
them.
This
discomfort
in
the
beginning
stage
of
use
is
do
to
the
orthotics
creating
soft
and
muscle
tension
against
the
deformed
or
weakened
foot
and/or
arch.
Once
muscle
tone
has
been
established
by
the
use
of
these
orthotics,
optimal
support
level
of
control
and
comfort
has
been
achieved.

My
question
regards
flat
feet.
Can
flat
feet
affect
the
neck
and
shoulders?
I
have
a
lot
of
pain
in
the
neck
and
shoulders
for
some
years,
and
wondered
if
this
is
contributing
to
it.
I
am
a
body
builder
for
some
years.
No
there
is
no
conclusive
evidence
that
flat
feet
affect
the
neck
and
shoulders
even
though
it
is
a
concept
accepted
by
the
chiropractic
field
and
I
personally
think
of
it
more
like
in
a
chain
reaction.
Flat
feet
does
affect
the
ankles,
the
knees,
the
hips
to
a
certain
extent
and
the
lower
back
but
I
cannot
say
that
it
does
affect
the
neck
and
shoulders.
Seeing
that
you
are
a
body
builder
for
some
years
we
strongly
recommend
which
is
a
general
use
and
it
is
a
bio-mechanical
support,
meaning
that
this
support
orthoses
will
maintain
your
feet
artificially
and
anatomically
the
way
they
should
be.
We
highly
recommend
the
Flexifly™
Original
or
the
Flexifly™
Sport
Generation
II
which
are
used
mostly
for
sneakers
and
sport
shoes
which
not
only
give
you
control
but
also
shock
abortion
and
comfort.
