My left foot is a flat one and my right foot has a strong arch. Will that lead to injury if I run? While running, I can feel my bottom of the hurt being sore and cramping up slightly, and I want to know if the difference between my two foots have to do with it. Is there anyway to fix the issue?
I had this issue years ago. What worked for me was cutting a tennis ball a little less than half and put that small piece inside the shoe where the arch would be on the flat foot. Reduce mileage about 30% first week and you should have an arch by the next week.
Hope this works for you-
Yes. You might need to buy two different pair of shoes and wear a different one on each foot.
Or you can put in some kind of insole (as suggested above) to adjust.

Anecdotal story:
My dad broke his leg as a kid in 1933.
The family set the leg with a sears catalog tied with bailing twine.
It healed to a different length than the other leg.
This altered his gait and his hips were unlevel,
which caused his spine to slant to one side,
which caused the vertabrae to rub against the cartilage on one side,
which started causing him pain starting at age 55 and lasted the rest of his life.
You might want to see a podiatrist for advice just to be safe.
i read somewhere that one of jeff nelson's legs were 2 inches longer than the other. just sayin.
I’d think that having 1 or 3 feet would make running quite difficult
It only takes a week to develop an arch?
Yeah, you will be good to go in a week
