I have flat feet and these work fairly well. They are not perfect, a bit narrow due to my flat feet, but better than others I have tried. If they were a 1/4&#34; wider, they would be perfect. The arch isn't too pronounced to make my feet ache, some other brands had such a high arch my feet would hurt after only a few minutes. I haven't worn them long enough to comment on durability, so far, they've held up with minimal use.
