Thanks to insoles, carefully crafted footwear, and certain shoe styles, women with flat feet can wear heels comfortably – especially if the shoes are from SASnola.
Having flat feet is a common and typically painless condition that can occur when the arches don't develop during childhood. However, you can suffer from foot and ankle pain or even spinal misalignment.
Today, we’ll share some of our top tips on how to wear heels comfortably with flat feet so that our flat-footed friends can learn about the options available to them.
About Flat Feet
According to the Mayo Clinic, you have flat feet when the arches on the inside of your feet are flattened, allowing the entire soles of your feet to touch the floor when you stand up. Many don’t suffer from any symptoms, but some start to feel pain in the ankle or heel area and turn to custom orthotics or specialty insoles.
A few factors may increase your risk of flat feet as an adult, including:
- Obesity
- Injury to your foot or ankle
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Aging
- Diabetes
Otherwise, your flat feet may simply be a result of stunted development in your feet from childhood. Alternatively, some people don’t develop arches at all, regardless of the shoes they wear. It depends on the person, which is why we don’t promote one-size-fits-all footwear – especially when it comes to supportive and comfortable footwear.
How to Wear Heels with Flat Feet
Finding the right pair of shoes for flat feet that are both comfortable and stylish doesn’t have to be difficult with SASnola. We understand the struggle when it comes to wearing shoes that lack the supporting heel and come with a rather painful narrow toe box. You will find nothing of this sort at SASnola.
But before we jump to recommending shoes that will perfectly fit you and provide the stability and support you need, let’s first discuss how to wear heels with flat feet.
Rule #1 is to find shoes that are properly sized and fit you snugly—otherwise, not only will they cause discomfort but also pain when walking.
Rule #2 is to opt for a thick heel to provide more stability and balance when walking. Thin heels are usually not recommended for flat-footed people, but kitten heels are a totally different story!
Rule #3 is to use insertable gel pads that offer more comfort and better cushioning.
Finally, our rule #4 is to give breaks or have an extra pair of your favorite shoes to switch if your feet feel sore.

Meet “Milano”
Our Milano heel is SAS’ spin on a classic style with added support where you need it.
In terms of tech, the Milano features a molded polyurethane sole containing millions of tiny air bubbles that provide ample shock absorption. This pair of heel shoes also features our signature TRIPAD® Technology, the comfort system that provides shock absorption and support to the three main pressure points of the foot: the inside ball, outside ball, and heel.
The Milano’s style is something of a chameleon in that it works with nearly every dress code, from business casual in the office to more semi-formal occasions like the theater or a dinner party.
Discover classic Milano heels for flat feet, available in three timeless colors.
“Caress” Is Comfy
Our Caress sandal heel is simple, sophisticated, and, of course, supportive. The contoured footbed follows the natural shape of the foot for support, while a flexible wedge heel offers ample shock absorption. An adjustable back strap gently holds the heel in place.
You won’t find more comfortable wedge sandals than the Caress style. Plus, the heels have some give in the toe department, preventing pinching and allowing as much wiggling as you please.
Heeled sandals are perfect for quick and casual commitments, like running errands, meeting up for lunch, or merely going on a walk around the block.
Shop our Caress heel and run daily errands with style and comfort.
