What is a fallen arch and what shoes are recommended?
A fallen arch, or flexible flatfoot, is a foot condition where the longitudinal arch of the foot is collapsed, causing the entire foot to rest flatter on the ground. This can lead to pain and discomfort in the foot, ankle, or other parts of the body.
For individuals with a fallen arch, it can be helpful to wear specific shoes that provide support or correction. Suitable shoes should have a good fit and encase the foot well to offer stability and support.
Custom orthotic inserts may also be a helpful option to support and stabilize the foot.
