When flat feet are worth checking
Flat feet are common in children, and parents often notice tired legs, foot pain, or a walk that looks a little unusual.
In many cases it’s part of normal development—young children can look flatter-footed because the arch is still forming and their ligaments are naturally flexible. Most kids develop a more visible arch as they grow.
If your child is sore, fatigues quickly, seems unsteady, or avoids activity, an assessment can help. Supportive footwear, simple strength and flexibility advice, and—when needed—custom orthoses can improve comfort and confidence.
