The Run Smarter Podcast

Gabriel & Ian are the co-authors of a new paper titled: Flat feet: deformities or healthy anatomical variants?
Today, we discuss where the narrative of 'flat-feet is bad' came from and whether the theory correlates with the research.

We also answer the question if people with flat feet are more injury prone and need interventions such as orthotics and stability shoes.

Papers mentioned in the episode:
Flat feet: deformities or healthy anatomical variants?
The effect of foot orthoses and insoles on running economy and performance in distance runners: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Flatfoot over the centuries: the background of current conservative and operative treatments
