Most flexible flat feet are painless, do not impede a child’s athletic ability or normal growth pattern, and do not cause long term deformity or disability.
What exactly are “flexible flat feet”? And if a child has them, what should be done? Shevaun M. Doyle, M.D., pediatric orthopedist at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, has the answers.
