What is it?
Flat feet, or fallen arches, mean insufficient activity in the foot arch area. This can affect the transverse arch, the medial longitudinal arch (towards the big toe), or the lateral longitudinal arch (towards the little toe).
What is the cause?
Primarily, inappropriate footwear with insufficient toe space. One of the main causes of flat feet is bunions, which means the foot arch cannot properly position itself. Other factors can include insufficient foot muscle activity and genetics.
What are the consequences?
Flat feet can lead to pain in the feet, knees, hips, back, and general discomfort when walking or standing.
What is the solution? How can Realfoot help you with this?
Realfoot shoes target all three foot arches and provide maximum toe space. They transmit information about the surface and simulate a natural surface, which activates the natural mechanisms of the feet. We recommend supplementing the wearing of Realfoot shoes with appropriate activation and release exercises.
It makes no sense to support the arch with orthopedic insoles if the toes do not have enough space in the footwear for the foot to develop into its natural structure and thus rebuild the arch.
First, make room for your toes.
