Do you prefer to wear slip on shoes but have a foot condition that requires you to wear more supportive shoes? Are you wondering whether there are slip on shoes out there that can properly support your flat feet? I have fitted certain supportive slip on shoes for women with flat feet that have helped treat and prevent foot pain, and hopefully, they will work for your feet as well.
How Do I Know Which Slip On Shoes Provide Better Support than Others?
I usually don’t recommend slip on shoes for women with foot problems, as I prefer shoes that provide either velcro or laces. When there is no secure closure to hold the foot in place, it’s hard to get the full benefits that the shoes have to offer. With that said, if you prefer slip on shoes over sneakers or other types of shoes, I am going to show you the most supportive styles.
What Makes the Slip On Shoes I Recommend Ideal for Women with Flat Feet?
1️⃣ Shock Absorption and Supportive Outsoles
This feature will reduce the impact that your feet take every time they come in contact with the ground. If you tend to overpronate or you have noticed that your feet collapse when you are standing (you might be flat-footed), a shoe with a substantial outsole will help straighten your feet and legs.
2️⃣ Firm Heel Counters with Good Ankle and Heel Support
The shoes I recommend provide targeted support right below your heels to minimize impact and pain. Some women’s feet collapse from having rolled ankles. which means that their heels deviate from the midline. Slip on shoes that provide a firm heel counter and additional support right below the heels help prevent the feet from collapsing and turning inwards.

Please note that to get the full support and stability that the slip on shoes that I recommend have to offer you must wear them in the correct shoe size.
For example, do you know whether you have narrow, medium, wide, or extra wide feet? Do you know if you have a high instep? These are all key factors that you must know before you buy your shoes online as they directly impact the final shoe size that you need to order. To help women determine their exact foot shape and foot size from home I created a different article called:

Please note that how effective these shoes will be in helping treat your flat feet and prevent foot pain depends on your individual foot anatomy. Remember that to get the full support and stability that the shoes have to offer you must wear them in the correct shoe size.
