Flat feet, also referred to as flatfoot, pes planus, pronated foot, and fallen arches, is a deformity with various degrees of physical impact. This condition in one or both feet can be passed down as a hereditary trait or may simply develop over time. Flat feet are characterized by no arch; the entire sole of your foot touches, or nearly touches, the ground when standing.
Flexible flatfoot is a common form of flatfoot that typically shows up in children and worsens with age. Flexible flatfoot usually occurs in both feet and is characterized by feet that flatten (the arch gives way) when the foot is supporting the body, but regains its arch when the foot is relaxed.
