What Are Flat Feet?

Flat feet means the arch on the inside of the foot is low or collapses when you stand. Some people are born with flexible flat feet; others develop fallen arches over time. Many have no symptoms at all — but when flat feet do cause problems, you might notice:

Aching or fatigue in the arch or along the inside of the foot
Heel pain or plantar fasciitis
Feet that roll inward (overpronation) and uneven shoe wear
Ankle, knee, or lower-leg strain with activity

The American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons has a helpful overview of flexible flatfoot if you’d like more detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do flat feet need treatment?

Not always. Many people with flat feet have no pain and need nothing. Treatment is for those with arch or heel pain, tired feet, or related problems affecting daily activity.

Can flat feet be corrected?

In adults, care focuses on supporting the arch and relieving symptoms rather than rebuilding it. Custom orthotics and supportive shoes are the mainstays, and a podiatrist can tailor a plan to your feet.

Are orthotics worth it for flat feet?

For flat feet that cause pain, custom orthotics often help by supporting the arch and reducing strain. We’ll advise you honestly about whether they’re likely to help in your case.

When should I see a podiatrist for flat feet?

If you have arch, heel, or ankle pain, achy or tired feet, or notice your feet rolling inward — especially when it’s affecting your activity or daily comfort.
