How To Tell If You Have Flat Feet 

I do not have a “full” footprint. For decades I thought my feet are normal. But I just noticed today that I can’t easily place my fingers under the arch. It is way too low.

Even though I can easily stuff my fingers under my arches while standing up and my foot print indicating that I’m leaning towards normal / high arches my last doctor always insisted that I have flat feet and needed insoles. I have pain in my lower back (when I’m standing still for too long or not doing enough sport and sitting for a crazy amount of time). He always blamed my back pain on my feet. Said that they were „too broken to be left without insoles“ and that I should never walk bare foot again. Long story short, I had to switch to a ne doctor and forgot about the insoles. My knees are getting better, the pain in my back is better because the new one prescribed massages and more exercises. I only need insoles in my hockey skates for different reasons.

Very informative thank you

I'm currently 13 and after looking at images and the video, I think I may have flat feet or at least a very very low arch. I do ballet and have heard that it is really hard to do ballet (at least professionally) if you have flat feet. But I always thought I had normal feet because I do ballet and I have a really nice arch when I point my feet(tho it doesn't touch the ground) and I've had no trouble in pointe shoes (its completely over the box) and my feet actually look pretty good. Until now I'm searching up images of flat feet and think I may have flat feet because I have close to no arch when I am standing. My feet does "crackle" (like make cracking sounds) when I sit on the floor and point my feet, not when I am standing up and pointing thought, other than I've had no trouble in ballet. So does that have anything to do with flat feet?

Thanks for teaching

I’m 15 and recently I started feeling pain in my knees, lower back, toes, fingers and my joints in general I had psoriasis since I was 4 and when I went to my doctor and told her about my problem she said you have rheumatism so I went to the rheumatism doctor and she told me to stand on my tiptoes then she said you have flat feet but I don’t think I have flat feet cuz I have a curve in my feet and I put my fingers inside that curve and my fingers fit I saw my foot print and it was normal

I have flat feet and it's make me really insecure bout how my feet looks in shoes especially the inner sides that bulges out it's really made me insecure and idk what typa excercise to do to get the curves in my deets bc ion have them

For over about 15+ years, since I was a kid, my mom always told me I have flat feet and that she has always known. I've done the water test and can see an arch, but when I stand, it is not as noticeable. While in college and after, I worked many jobs that require me to stand for 8 hours or more, and with in 30-45 min. My heels and entire foot would start to hurt. After a while, if I lift my foot on each side, I would feel pins and needles and standing would be so difficult and almost unbearable. I wonder if I do or don't have it now.

What should i do in order to fix both my flat feet i have had since a child im now a teenager about to be a adult(Next years i turn 20) and i have been dealing with being flat feet my whole life and im tired of it im just looking for some insights on both my feet so i can have normal looking feet. My feet also mess my shoes up and i cant stand it anymore because i wear very expensive shoes and i already messed them up with my feet.

I wish you had turned the view to the side.
