Do Children Grow Out of Flat Feet?
Many parents are concerned when they look at their child's foot and it seems excessively flat. They are even more disturbed if one or more have a flat painful foot. They ask if the pain they experienced as a child can be avoided.
Unfortunately many pediatricians tell everyone that they will "grow out" of flat feet. This is a terrible misjustice to the millions of children who have symptomatic, structural flat feet that they will not "grow out of" and often leads to many years of pain and disability when treatment can signifiacntly decrease their suffering.
Flat foot is common in children and actually stands for several types of inherited foot types. Although these foot types differ in many of their characteristics, they all share a common flattening or collapsing of the arch. Many children with flat foot have no symptoms, but some can have serious aches and pains.
Signs and symptoms of pediatric flat foot include:
- pain and tenderness in the foot, leg and knees
- outward tilting of the heel
- difficulty running and walking or just "funny looking" running
- excessive shoe wear and difficulty fitting shoes
- constant complaining when running or participating in sports
What are the different kinds of flat foot?
- symptomatic or asymptomatic
- flexible (meaning they look like they have an arch when non-weightbearing but it fully collapses on weight bearing); this is the most common and associated with many overuse injuries in child athletes.
- rigid (arch is always stiff and flat); less common and usually due to abnormal bone structure or bone growth during development.
How is flat foot diagnosed?
In pediatric flat foot, the podiatric foot and ankle surgeon will look at your child and do a complete biomechanical exam to see how the foot, knees and hips function. X-rays are taken to evaluate the growth plates and bone growth. Often, an MRI or CT scan are needed to fully evaluate this complex deformity.
How is flat foot treated?
In asymptomatic flat foot, no treatment is needed except sturdy appropriate shoe gear to relieve stress. Secondary symptoms of "Charlie horses" or leg cramps, tired feet, and knee and hip pain should be discussed with parents.
In painful flat feet, treatment is required. No child should be in pain from their feet. Activity modification, shoe gear, stretching exercises, anti-inflammatories and arch supports are the mainstay of therapy. Mant times, significant flat feet require custom functional orthotics and physical therapy for more aggressive symptomatic relief. Obesity increase pain in flat feet. Weight loss is always recommended prior to surgery due to the high incidence of painful flat feet in the obese child.
Surgery should only be an option for pediatric flat foot if the child is having severe difficulty walking or running, has undergone at least 6 months of aggressive therapy and has a significant deformity.
Contact your podiatric foot and ankle surgeon for a biomechanical exam if your child is experiencing fatigue, cramping or pain associated with flat feet.

Racing Flats $93.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Racing flats, or simply flats, are lightweight athletic shoes designed for long distance track and field, cross country, and most often, road races. They differ from normal training shoes mainly by the lack of a substantial heel (hence the name). They are also a great deal less durable and typically last half to a quarter of the distance of a normal training shoe (125250 miles or 200400 kilometers). The removal of the heel in racing flats has 4 principal effects: weight reduction, better foot to ground power transfer, providing less support and giving less cushioning. These features allow a runner to race more efficiently. Racing flats differ from spikes in several ways. First, there are no holes for metal pins in the shoes. Second, flats do not have a particularly aggressive tread (shoes that have very aggressive treads but no holes for pins are sometimes called racers). Third, flats are designed for only long distance races (although they can be used for short races to no ill effect), whereas spikes are designed for short middle or long distance depending on the shoe.
