Symptoms of Flat Feet
- Tired or achy feet after you stand or play sports
- Feet that tire easily and become fatigued. Flat foot deformity is not efficeint and causes the muscles and ligaments to work harder.
- Pain or weakness in the ankles. You may experience ankle sprains more frequently than most people.
- Knee, hip, and back pain that is caused by lack of foot support. The arch is critical in absorbing shock and when it is not working properly, other joints have to work harder.
- Pain, swelling, and discomfort in the heel and arch areas of your feet.

The majority of people with flat feet simply require more arch support to alleviate the stress on the tendons and ligaments of the foot and leg.
