Frequently Asked Questions

They're closely related but not quite identical. Flat feet (pes planus) describes feet with little or no visible arch – something many people are born with. Fallen arches refers to arches that were once present but have flattened over time, often due to age, weight changes, pregnancy or years spent on your feet. The good news is that shoes for fallen arches and shoes for flat feet share the same essential features: arch support, deep cushioning and a stable, supportive fit.

Yes – with the right design, heels for flat feet are entirely possible. The key is choosing a low or mid block heel that keeps your weight evenly distributed, with proper support beneath the arch. All Sole Bliss closed-back heels feature built-in arch support, paired with triple-layer cushioning and a deep, supportive fit – which is why they're loved by women who thought their heel-wearing days were behind them. Avoid high stilettos with thin soles, which concentrate pressure exactly where flat feet need it least.

Very often, yes. Flat feet tend to be wider than average because the foot spreads as the arch flattens. A wide fit shoe gives the foot room to sit naturally, preventing rubbing, pinching and pressure across the forefoot. All Sole Bliss shoes are designed with a generous, deep fit and a wider toe box – so if you've struggled to find flat feet shoes for women that don't squeeze, our wide fit shoes are a wonderful place to start.

Steer clear of anything completely flat and unsupportive – ballet pumps with paper-thin soles, unstructured flip-flops and worn-out trainers are common culprits. Very high, narrow heels are also best avoided, as they push your weight forward without any support beneath the arch. Instead, look for supportive shoes for flat feet with cushioned insoles and a stable heel – our trainers, boots and sandals all feature an anatomically contoured footbed for ergonomic support, while our closed-back heels have arch support built in.

Shoes can't change the structure of your feet, but the right pair can make an enormous difference to how they feel. Supportive, well-cushioned flat foot shoes help distribute pressure evenly, reduce fatigue and ease the aches that often come with flat arches and overpronation. If you experience persistent pain, it's worth speaking to a podiatrist – but for everyday comfort, a beautifully made, supportive shoe is one of the best investments you can make.

What to Look for in Flat Feet Shoes

The best shoes for flat feet combine three things: built-in arch support to redistribute pressure evenly, generous underfoot cushioning to absorb shock, and a wider, deeper fit that gives the foot room to sit naturally. A stable heel matters too – overpronation, where the foot rolls inwards as you walk, often goes hand in hand with flat feet, so look for shoes that hold the heel securely. These features apply whether you're choosing trainers, work shoes or dress shoes for flat feet.


At Sole Bliss, every pair is designed with triple-layer cushioning, contoured arch support and a wide, deep fit. Our supportive shoes for flat feet, fallen arches and bunions are handcrafted in Italy and Spain, and so stylish that no one would ever guess they were comfort shoes!
