I have always had flat feet. When my feet are wet and I leave footprints on the ground, you can see that I have no arches at all. But I don’t experience pain when walking. What are flat feet?
When the arch on the inside of your feet is flattened, you're said to have flat feet. This means that the entire sole of your foot touches the floor when you're standing or walking. Flat feet is actually a very common condition and it's usually painless. It's so common that in an estimated 20-30% of the world’s population, the arch doesn't develop at all in one foot or both feet.
