What Causes Flat Feet?

What is Flat Feet?

Flat feet (also called fallen arches or pes planus) is a condition where the arch of the foot collapses, causing the entire sole to make contact with the ground. It is one of the most common foot conditions in the Philippines — and often goes untreated because many people think it's "normal."

Common symptoms of flat feet include:

  • Foot pain or fatigue after standing or walking

  • Pain along the inner ankle and arch area

  • Knee, hip, or lower back pain

  • Uneven shoe wear (inner sole wears out faster)

  • Difficulty standing on tiptoes

  • Genetics — flat feet can run in families

  • Weak or damaged tendons (especially the posterior tibial tendon)

  • Pregnancy-related weight and ligament changes

  • Aging and years of walking on hard surfaces

  • Obesity or sudden weight gain

  • Previous foot or ankle injuries

Why Flat Feet Shouldn't Be Ignored

Left untreated, flat feet can lead to a chain reaction of problems throughout the body:

  • Overpronation — feet roll inward with every step, misaligning your entire posture

  • Shin splints — stress on the lower leg muscles

  • Anke pain - burden from inward rolling

  • Knee pain — uneven load distribution causes joint wear

  • Lower back pain — spinal alignment is affected by how your feet land

  • Bunions & hammertoes — from abnormal pressure on the toes
