Question

Can people with flat feet Ice Skate, without any pain?

Answer 1

i know some girls with flat feet who skate fine... the only thing youre gonna want to do is get proper insoles for your skates to make things more comfortable for you! you can also try heat molding you skate to your feet, which could help a little... i dont know how serious you plan on being but maybe take a trip to your local skate shop and see what they can do for you... but definitely insole= key...good luck!

Answer 2

Absolutely, ice skates don't permit the use of the arch, its all in the ankles and knees. the way the skates are molded keeps the base of the foot stable and not flexible like shoes or sneakers

Answer 3

Definitely. My friend has flat feet too and he skates.

Answer 4

I have flat feet and I skate. sometimes my foot cramps but it doesnt hurt too bad.

so, basically yes, you can.

Answer 5

If you are feeling pain, see if you are grabbing with your toes, this coul dbe the problem. Grabbing with your toes actually doesn't help your balance...

Answer 6

it will hurt for a while
