    Nope and neither is there any specific shoe for flat feet for walking, hiking, sports, etc.

    What you'll need to look into are special replacement orthotic insoles, like Spenco Total Support Max Insoles, that'll support the medial arch.

    Hey Visor, thanks for your revert.
    but yes, Brooks has shoes for flat footer for running and walking. But their soles are too thick, not suitable for badminton.

    The advantage of orthotics is that they can be placed in any shoe of any type...from snow boots to ice skates to office shoes to hiking shoes to sports shoes etc

    The right insole can fix any shoe.

    Superfeet will have something.

    Dr Scholl's Orthoheel sports insoles are another brand you can consider. Go up a size if you have wide feet,they can be trimmed down to.
