What exactly are “flat feet” and “fallen arches?” Are they the same thing? What causes them and how should they be treated?
htmASKTHEDOCflatfeetfallenarches
“Flat feet” and “fallen arches” refer to the same thing. It’s a downward sagging of the inside edge of the foot during standing or walking. The term “pes planus” is another name for flat feet. Sometimes flat feet can explain pain symptoms in the feet and legs. Arch supports or shoes with good support may help.
