Malalignment of the foot (flat feet/ high arches).
Flat feet / high arches are often free of symptoms
Flat feet and high arches do not always have to cause symptoms.
The terms flat feet and high arches initially describe the outer appearance of the foot without attaching any significance to it. Feet come in a large variety of shapes and sizes. A foot that appears to be "flat" or "arched" is very often free of symptoms. The flattening of the feet is also a normal developmental phase in children´s feet. Further tests are always indicated when malpositioning is extremely pronounced, new, has gotten worse or has started to cause symptoms.
