Flat feet (pes planus or fallen arches) can be very painful and make exercise difficult. Pes Planus is a condition in which the arch of the foot has collapsed. Visit your doctor for shoe inserts or scroll down to step 1 for detailed instructions on how you can fix this problem yourself.

Steps

1. 1 Wear good shoes. This is the most important remedy. Make sure the shoes are comfortable and fit for you. Feel the inside of the shoe sole. There should be an arch support starting from the inside that tapers towards the center.
2. 2 Pull the laces tight. If you don’t do this, the instep support completely loses its value and can damage your fingers and chafe blisters. The instep support should not move too far forward or backward.
3. 3 Try this exercise:
   • Tie your big toes with a small elastic band.
   • Place a tin can between the arches of your feet and try to close your heels together.
4. 4 Add additional support. You just need to have a pair of shoes without arch supports or with minimal instep support, wear instep supports or instep insoles inside.
5. 5 For extreme cases where there is pain in the ankle, knee and / or hip and back, see a podiatrist. There is a new procedure called Hy-Pro Cure, or minimally invasive outpatient surgery, which is fully covered by insurance (after the insured event). Your leg is aligned and the screw is inserted into your ankle. You can do without arch surgery. One leg is done in about 6 weeks.

Tips

• Do not use used shoes. She has already taken the form of the previous owner. This applies to everyone.
• Take care of your flat feet as soon as possible.
• While every shoe style is different, some brands with good instep support are DVS, Nike, Etnies, and Asics.

Warnings

• You may need to splurge on a pair of quality shoes.
• You may need to visit a podiatrist for further detailed assistance.
• Do not hesitate to treat flat feet.
