Many of the shoes look pretty frail.


Answer
Runners in this weight range often need good cushioning since weight is first and foremost, a big factor to stress. You need good shock absorbers and stress relievers. Check shoes for sufficient cushioning and support. Make sure they will give good stability to your joints and soles.
It also depends on your foot shape and it's movement. Do you have a normal foot, flat foot, or high-arched foot?
The Flat Foot has a probability towards overpronation of the foot that strikes on the outside of the heel and rolls inward excessively; over a period of time this may lead to different types of overuse injuries. It is normally recommended to use motion-control or stability shoes with firm midsoles and control features that reduce the degree of pronation, and to stay away from highly cushioned, curved-lasted shoes that lack stability and control.
You should wear cushioned shoes if you are a runner who needs maximum midsole cushioning and minimum medial (arch-side) support. These shoes are best suited for biomechanically efficient runners (you don't overpronate), and midfoot or forefoot strikers. Runners who do best in cushioned shoes often have moderate to high arches.
It would be a good idea to visit a specialty shop or a shop that sells various foot wear and accessories for athletes and sports enthusiasts if you're unsure which category your feet fall in. There are several good brands and types of running/walking/athletic shoes, but the key is finding the right ones for you, whatever the brand. I love my New Balance, but you might be happier with a different brand.

How can I prevent my flat feet from getting any worse?

I have flat feet and am still very athletic. I am very fast and want to be an Olympic sprinter. I am 15. How can I prevent my feet from getting worse?


Answer
Flat feet are a very common foot condition which causes over-pronation and can potentially result in much more serious ailments such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, or shin splints if not treated early.

Proper arch support through orthotic insoles or shoe inserts is an effective solution to foot pain caused by flat feet, and helps to prevent more serious foot ailments.
