Are Birkenstocks good for wide flat feet?Updated 10 months ago

Many consider Birkenstocks to be a generous fitting shoe; however, there are limits on the width of a pair of Birkenstocks. It is important that the foot still fit inside the rim of the footbed with a little space and that the arch support and contoured areas are positioned in the correct place for optimal comfort, stability and support. Birkenstocks as mentioned above may be very comfortable and supportive for a person with flat feet but may be too contoured for some. Soft Footbed styles are popular as they can soften out the contours but they may not be the right choice for everyone. Always seek advice from your podiatrist regarding foot concerns and footwear.
