Any tips for people like me who have flat feet?

  Stop believing that you have a severe deformity and just walk. It's part of the scope of human phenotypes and harmless.

    Yep. Stop watching all sorts of advice from your chair. I have been hiking for many years now at ca. 2000 km per year. The body simply optimizes itself in time for all but very few people. A little adjustment might be necessary for particular cases, but you will figure this out finally yourself. But the highest priority by far remains doing the basic things. Regularly - in any weather in this case - without excuses. That is the core. All other issues are premature optimizations (or to be clear, no optimization at all)

  Watch a few videos under the search results for "foot arch PT" and "foot arch massage", like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AwRK3js5dg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AwRK3js5dg

  If it's causing serious problems, talk to a real doctor, not armchair doctors on HN (or reddit).
