I have been 100% flat footed all my life and I use to have some of the same issues as you when I was in the Air Force.

I use to have to deal with chronic foot pain all the time till I started to exercise my feet mussels more without running. I also where stiffer shoes/boots with gel insoles that were fitted and recommended by my podiatrist.

In EMS depending on where you work there is either a lot of sitting, lifting or moving of your feet. I highly recommend a nice pair of combat boot with good soles and side zippers. Spend more than 20 bucks trust me the cheap shoes are crap and fall apart.

There are many paramedic programs out there that don’t have a Physical Training test or requirement perhaps you could find one of them while you try some the suggestions stated in the replies here?
