If I have flat feet, does that mean that I'm going to get pain?
Contrary to popular belief, having flat feet does not necessarily increase the incidence of injury and it does not usually cause problems.
However, flat feet may put a strain on your muscles, ligaments and joints, which may cause pain in your feet, legs, hips and back when you stand or walk. Furthermore, individuals with flat feet may develop tired or aching feet after prolonged periods of standing or walking.
