FlatFeet & Body Correction | Unisex Slippers

Flat Feet, also known as fallen arches or pes planus, can be caused by various factors. Here are some common causes:
1. Genetics: One of the most common causes is genetics. If your parents or close family members have flat feet, there's a higher likelihood that you'll have them as well.
2. Muscle or Ligament Imbalances: Sometimes, an imbalance in the muscles and ligaments that support the arch of the foot can lead to flat feet. Weakness in these structures can cause the arch to collapse.
3. Injury: Trauma or injury to the foot or ankle can result in flat feet. Fractures or dislocations can damage the tendons and ligaments responsible for maintaining the arch.
4. Aging: As people age, the tendons and ligaments in their feet can weaken, leading to a gradual flattening of the arches.
5. Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions can contribute to flat feet, including rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and conditions that affect the nervous system, like muscular dystrophy.
6. Obesity: Excess body weight can put extra strain on the feet, which may contribute to the development of flat feet.
7. Pregnancy: The weight gain and hormonal changes during pregnancy can also lead to the development or worsening of flat feet.
8. Occupational Factors: Jobs that require prolonged standing or walking on hard surfaces can increase the risk of flat feet.

You can perform a simple test at home to get an initial idea of whether you may have flat feet or not. This test is NOT a substitute for a professional evaluation by a healthcare provider or podiatrist, but it can help you identify potential flat feet. Here's how to do it:

Wet Footprint Test:
a. Fill a shallow container, like a baking dish or a tray, with water.
b. Place a piece of paper or a brown paper bag on the floor next to the water.
c. Wet the soles of both of your feet by stepping into the water.
d. Step onto the paper with your wet feet. Make sure your feet are evenly wet.
e. Step off the paper, leaving wet footprints behind.
f. Examine the wet footprints closely.

If you see a full, well-defined footprint with an arch that is clearly visible, you likely have normal or typical arches.
If you see a partial or faint arch, or if there is no arch visible at all and the entire sole of your foot is in contact with the paper, you may have flat feet.
It's important to note that this test provides a general indication and should not be used as a definitive diagnosis.
