If they have "Fallen" meaning they once had an arch....then I think surgery could help you out. If its a been born with thing....you can't change bone structure....I have flat feet. Just have good thick soles.... However theres more to speed than feet. Stride length x frequency = speed Devolop function muscle....don't train for mass. Keep body weight down. After all put a V8 in a honda size car...you have a fast car, but put the same V8 in a heavier car....not as fast. -------------- Friends don't let friends squat high...
