Flat feet in themselves are not a problem. But running on flat feet is almost like running on gelatin. Flat feet turn inward (overpronation * ), causing legs to turn inward, and contribute to such “overuse” injuries as shin splints and back problems. Flat feet also can produce heel spurs * . If pain develops as a result of any of these conditions, flat feet and the problems they cause need treatment.
