An amazing remedy for flat feet

I know it's not quite for its intended purpose, but it works. Flat feet mean that my ankle joints are turned inward a lot (pronation). It's not a problem for anyone who has it, but it gives my ankles chronic pain of varying degrees. Usually not that bad, but after a day of walking or standing it's exhausting. I've found that forcibly holding the foot in a normal shape (ball of the foot) results in less pain over time, but it's really difficult to do this all day every day. So I thought this might help. boy did they ever! The first day I gardened all day without the slightest pain at that time or the next day (which is usually the worst). It used to be horrible, walking on uneven ground, a small rock or pit, suddenly changing the angle of my ankle from side to side, almost throwing myself to the ground, and it seemed like these events were repeating themselves over the course of the... Accumulate severe pain throughout the day. This is practically impossible with these braces. I could probably walk on a gravel road. The ankles cannot move enough to cause pain. And on top of that they are really comfortable. I don't even want to take them off at the end of the day. Obviously they're not meant to be used all day, but I don't see how that could be any worse than what I've experienced. I'll probably only wear them when my ankles hurt or when I'm doing an activity that would otherwise cause them pain. I don't know if anyone else has the same problem as me, but I hope my understanding helps. I cannot recommend them enough.
