Improve your performance with soccer insoles & soccer boots specifically for flat feet

When running or shooting, your feet generate power and help you keep your balance. Any peculiarity in the structure of your foot, such as flat feet, can affect your game. With the right support in your soccer boots, even flat feet won't slow you down.

If you think flat feet could affect your game, we explain how CURREX CLEATPROinsoles in your soccer boots can optimize your performance on the pitch.

How flat feet affect your soccer performance

Flat feet, which affect both children and adults, mean that the entire underside of the foot touches the ground. The arch of the foot absorbs shock by flexing and rolling inwards when bearing weight. Normal arches distribute this pressure evenly across the foot to reduce stress on the body.

Flat feet often roll too far inwards - a process known as overpronation. This reduces shock absorption and increases stress on the feet, ankles and knees. Overpronation is a biomechanical problem that makes athletes more susceptible to injuries such as:

• Plantar fasciitis
• Achilles tendon injuries
• Shin splints
• Knee pain
• Ankle sprains

Some are limited in their athletic abilities by these biomechanical inefficiencies. Flat feet that overpronate are unstable and put increased pressure on the arch of the foot, making quick changes of direction more difficult to control and reducing power when shooting or sprinting.

In addition to impairing mobility and responsiveness, flat feet can also lead to premature fatigue. While your body tries to compensate for these inefficiencies, your endurance suffers.

Soccer insoles for support

Insoles for soccer shoes help athletes with flat or nearly flat feet avoid injury and perform better. CURREX CLEATPROinsoles offer customizable support with three dynamic arch profiles, including a flat profile that adapts to flat feet without changing the soccer boots.

CURREX foot orthoses for children and adults with flat feet use Dynamic Arch Technology to ensure a perfect fit from the heel to the toes. This full-surface support helps to stimulate the muscles to reduce pressure and unwanted movements and bring the feet into their optimal biomechanical position.

With enhanced stability and shock absorption, the CURREX CLEATPROfor soccer maximizes athletic efficiency with every movement. The anti-slip coating ensures ultimate control in the shoe, while the targeted cushioning enhances acceleration for a safer, more powerful and agile game.

What you should look out for in soccer boots for flat feet

While not all athletes with flat feet have performance issues, it's still important to wear soccer shoes that fit your foot shape. The right pair makes a big difference to your game. So be sure to follow these tips when buying soccer shoes for flat feet:

• Arch support: To control unnecessary loss of strength and reduce strain, replace your original insoles with CURREX CLEATPROinsoles with flat arch support.
• Cushioning: Choose soccer shoes with sufficient cushioning to absorb more shock and reduce the strain on your joints.
• Stability: Football boots with a wider base, stable heel counter and good midfoot support offer more stability and movement control for flat arches.
• Fit: Flat feet can lead to a widening of the feet. While your soccer shoes should fit snugly, you should consider shoes for wide feet with a larger toe box to reduce pressure.
• Leather vs. synthetic: Leather uppers adapt better to the shape of the flat foot than synthetic materials and offer more support over the entire foot.
• Flexibility: Flexible soles allow for more natural foot movement and give players with flat feet the support and space they need for quick maneuvers.

Always try the shoes on in the store before you buy them so you can be sure they are comfortable and fit before you use them on the court. Bring your CURREX CLEATPROinsoles with you or visit a store near you to get a professional fitting.
