Information
Normal in all young children due to physiological laxity
It can take up until a child is 10 for their arch to fully develop and many adults will have flat feet as a normal variant
Most children have ‘flexible flat feet’ and will grow out it as their skeleton matures and soft tissue laxity decreases
Usually symmetrical, flexible and pain-free
