Flat Feet
Flat feet occur when the arches of the feet are low or completely collapsed. Instead of forming a natural curve, the bottom of the foot makes full contact with the ground. This can cause the feet to roll inward while walking, leading to strain on the arches, ankles, knees, hips, and lower back.
Common Symptoms
Foot fatigue after standing or walking
Pain in the arches or heels
Inward rolling of the ankles
Shoes wearing out faster on the inside edge
Knee or hip discomfort during activity
Difficulty finding supportive footwear
What Causes Flat Feet
Arches that never fully developed in childhood
Weak foot and ankle muscles
Long-term stress on the feet
Increased body weight
Pregnancy
Aging and reduced ligament strength
Some people with flat feet feel no symptoms early on, but pain and alignment issues can progress over time.
How Support Helps
Supportive insoles help lift and stabilize the arch so the foot moves in a more natural position.
This improves balance, reduces strain, and supports healthier alignment throughout the body.
Recommended Support
Orleans Arches support all four arches of the foot, helping reduce fatigue and improve stability with every step.
Proper Shoes Matter
Shoes with arch structure and heel stability can make a noticeable difference.
A secure midfoot and removable insole help optimize fit and comfort.
