Answer 1

Try some shoe inserts from the store. If those don't work, go to a podiatrist and have them make some custom made orthotics.



From link below: A different problem results when the arch flattens too much. This is known as a planus or flatfoot. In this condition, the weight distribution on the foot is too far on the medial side. A flatfoot is unstable and cannot maintain a proper arch. Over time, the weight of the body on an unstable foot can cause the bones of the foot to become misaligned. This can lead to the development bunions, hammertoes and other foot deformities, as well as knee and low back pain.



To address this problem, an orthotic with an increased arch can be prescribed to distribute the weight laterally. Depending on shape of the foot, the heel of the orthotic can be slanted to shift the weight more toward the center of the heel.

Answer 2

Actually, having flat feet is a cause for concern. It leads to a plethora of lower back, knee and hip problems that worsen with age. If you'd like help correcting your flat feet (painless and free!), email me [e-mail]
