best skates for flat feet

Just wondering, what are some of the best skates for flat feet?

[Langenbrunner15 0]

It depends on what kind of money your looking to spend. Either low end skates or highend.

high end

[Gongshow11 1]

just do as i did, get orthotics made by a pediatrist for your skates and then you can skate in anything. mine are cut to vapors so ill be in thta line forever

high end skates are not for flat footed people. i know cause i have a very flat foot and i buy high end skates all the time both roller and ice. yglod11 is right you'll either need to get orthotics from places like goodfeet or do what i do what i do. but an old insole in two and place it in the front and back then place the new one on top of it.

Speaking of orthotics, I have orthotics on the way. I pick them up tuesday and cant wait to slip them in my beloved 705's. I just wanted know what some of the other good skates are for flat feet.

Graf 709s have fit my great and I've got very flat feet. I had orthodics till I was about 11-12. I am considering getting some more in the near future.

How big of an arch do you have eazy? Stand on your feet and see how much finger you can fit under the tallest part of your arch for comparisons sake. At the tallest part of my "arch" I can almost fit my pinkie finger under there to the end of the nail bed. Orthodics don't really help me much, when I try and get an orthodic in there the natural arch in the skate pushes the orthodic up so high that the boot becomes too shallow, and nothing fits.

I get a bit of my pinky finger under the edge, maybe cm, under the arch.

How much do custom orthotics usually cost?

At the moment I cant remember how much my orthotics were. I tried on the 709 and they felt good but they were just to wide for my foot, so I went with the 705's.

I have flippers for feet,ccm and nike have always worked well

[shute 4]

if you can get even a bit of a pinky under the arch then your still better off then me. if i stand up there is like no arch, maybe a toothpick but not a pinky.. :lol: ... i have tried ccm, nike, bauer, mission and nothing works out of the box... it feels ok when i try them on but as soon as i get on the ice or floor it'll kill after like 5 mins worth of skating... the old insole tricks works wonders for me but insoles are not cheap so i have about 7 pairs of shoes and skates and only 3 of them have insoles in them...

for high end skates, i'd take a look into flexlite 12s....i have very flat feet and they work great for me. Also 1300 synergy skates have a pretty flat arch area.

Definitely stear clear of the XXXs though. My arch was killin in those.

As someone with extremely flat feet (I have no arch at all), the Mission Supple Fit line of skates work extremely well. Also, Easton seem to fit my foot as well (not the new Composite Synergy skate, though).

Justin, I tried on some S500's when I got skates in march. The only thing I could feel was that the mold of the ankle and everything on the skate couldn't fit me well. How moldable are the S500's when you heat them up?

[Justin 1933 134]

Beside grafs, S-series skates are the only skates built that are 100% heat moldable...In other words, the every piece on the internal part of the skate can be heat molded. Ask around from other people...Supple fit skates don't fit great without a heat fit.

Ok, but that's not a problem for me, do you have to order them direct with Bauer or ith your local dealer ?

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but if you talk to your store manager, and ask him, he may be able to bring the local bauer rep in to do it.

I actually had a fair bit of pain while in my PureFlys. I switched to a Graf insole and it seemed to solve the problem.

Justin, I actually found that the 900 skate had a higher arch than the full composite boot skate(1300)...though maybe it just felt that way with the shockdoctor insole.

You're wrong ;)

There's a form that the store gets, and it tells you what to measure. You go with the size on the Brannock then you take a tape measure and measure the foot in a few different spots then write them on the form along with the features they want and there you go.
