Bunions (Hallux Valgus): Expert Foot Care & Correction in Germany with WEGOVITA
What Are Flat Feet?
Flat feet, also called pes planus, is a condition where the arches of the feet are lower than normal or completely flattened. This causes the entire sole of the foot to touch the ground when standing.
Flat feet can be congenital (present from childhood) or develop over time due to injury, aging, obesity, or conditions like tendon dysfunction. While many people with flat feet have no symptoms, others may experience pain and mobility issues.
Symptoms of Flat Feet
Feet that appear flat when standing
Pain or aching in the arch or heel
Swelling along the inside of the ankle
Difficulty standing on tiptoes
Foot fatigue after long periods of standing or walking
Increased risk of ankle or knee problems due to altered biomechanics
