What Are Flat Feet?
Flat feet, or fallen arches, occur when the arches on the inside of your feet flatten out under pressure. This can cause foot pain, ankle instability, and imbalance, especially during prolonged standing or walking.
Some people are born with flat feet, while others develop them due to injury, aging, or overuse.
