Hi guys, a little bit of introduction about me first. 20M, casual running and playing badminton at a high level.

As you guys can see, I have had flat feet for my entire life now. It has affected my life in one way or another, I can say.

I dont get sore with the flat feet too often. I usually run around 2 - 2.5km/time without too much sore, and I still have quite good pace for a casual runner (2.1km for 12m). The pain will start to appear when I run for longer. A few days ago, I tried to run 7km and I got quite painful experience with it. But the pain went away after a day.

Badminton is the worst part. I play both single and double, and usually after a single game, my feet sore so bad that I usually have to put ice on it. And sometimes I think is because of my flat feet that I sprain my ankle.

I went to the doctor once and he said not to worry about it. So I still live with it till now.

But truly, beside surgery, is there any way that can improve the flat feet?

Thank everyone in advance.
