What are the best men’s pickleball shoes for flat feet?

Flat feet need stability, arch-friendly support, and a heel that won’t slip.

• DAPS DESI Low — Stable base with a carbon-fiber shank to control twist, plus soft-but-springy ETPU cushioning for long rallies.

• DAPS DESI Mid — Same stable platform and bounce, with a mid collar for extra ankle hold and confidence on sharp cuts.

Both include a Blumaka NONSlip insole to reduce inside-the-shoe slide and add cushioned support. The footbed also works well if you swap in custom orthotics.

Fit tips for flat feet:

• Use heel-lock (runner’s loop) lacing for a planted heel.

• If you use orthotics, remove the stock insole and test in both Low and Mid for best lockdown.

• Prioritize midfoot snugness; keep forefoot comfortably relaxed.
