Flat feet are a common foot deformity that can be inherited or developed over time. This condition affects individuals to different degrees, and for most will not pose a significant issue. A low arch can cause pain and fatigue in the foot, knees, or lower back. Flat feet can also contribute to an abnormal gait, bunions, hammertoe, arthritis, and plantar fasciitis. Wearing shoes with excellent arch support can help you avoid the problems associated with flat feet.
