Any recommendations on riding boots for flat feet?

I'd like to buy some riding boots but have flat feet and need arch support. Do any of you have recommendations?

Re: Any recommendations on riding boots for flat feet?

I also have flat feet (and bunions and neuromas too), and I've purchased several pairs of riding type boots recently. I find that with foot issues, it's a good idea not to wear the same pair of shoes or boots two days in a row (I only wear Birkenstock sandals in the summer). Some of my boots are flatter, and some have a medium heel. The best arch support, cushion, and toe room I've found is in the Earth Origins brand (sold right here on the Q). I've also purchased some fabulous Born boots. I have a pair of Naturalizer from the Southern channel that have a heel and are still comfortable, but they do run more narrow in the toe box than other brands.

I'm not sure if you like this style or not, but I have this boot in two colors. It's from Keen, called Baby Bern.

I like the gray, but mine are a forest green and a purple color.

I also have several pairs from Born that are comfortable.

Depends on what you want to spend. I have always worn Justin Ropers. They are mid-calve, not to the knee.
