13 Ballet Flats with Arch Support to Buy in 2025 – ryan

After talking with board-certified orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Pamela Mehta, studying reviews from customers of the brands and relying on the trusted word of some of our editors and their favorite ballet flats with arch support, I’ve developed a comprehensive list of pairs for you to try. To make the cut, the shoes had to balance form and function, offering a solid range of sizes, color/pattern options and supportive materials and fabrics. I found flats that boast cushioned foam insoles for a guaranteed plush step, and even sourced shoes that welcome arch inserts, too. PureWow editors have worn many of these shoes, which are a staple in their closets. We’re primarily based in New York City and lead busy lives, so these ballet flats with arch support had to work to prove that our feet wouldn’t be aching at the end of a long day. And guess what? Flats never looked (and felt) so good.
