Flat Foot both longitudinal and metatarsal arches have collapsed, ankles and knee fall inward and no arches are visible.

Symptoms:
General foot fatigue, poor balance
Ankle, knee, lower back pain
Calluses under big toe/bunions
Shoulder fall forward/slouching
More energy required to run or stand long periods of time.

Distinguishing features:
Inner wall of shoes streched & worn, foot appears abnormally wide, ankle and cuboid bone protruding inward, no arch visible.

Possible causes:
Hereditary, poor quality shoes (sole of shoe too soft), walking style, injury, wearing ill-fitting shoes,etc.

Solution:
'2.ft Orthotics' designed to reshape and realign both longitudinal and metatarsal arches.

Note: Children with flat feet often achieve permanent correction; custom-fitted orthotics develop arches provided they are worn daily (prescribed time) and the child is below the age of 10 years old.

 

High Arch the longitudinal arch contacts due to muscle, tendon and ligament imbalance, therefore affecting normal weight distribution.

Symptoms:
Pain in mid foot (longitudinal arch)
Front foot pain/bunion
Calf muscle pain/knee/low back pain

Distinguishing features:
The middle part of the foot makes no contact
Top part of shoe (area of shoelaces)

Solution:
'2.ft Orthotics' designed to control the contracting longitudinal arch.
