What are flat feet? What are fallen arches?
Flatfeet and fallen arches are lay terms used to describe lowering of the long inner arch of the foot. For a long time flat-feet were thought to be the sign of a poorly developed or structured foot. However in recent years it has been found to be no more prone to injury or soreness than any other foot structure. In fact recent research involving army recruits has shown that those army recruits with flatter feet tended to suffer less problems than those with normal or high arched feet.
