Newborns’ soles are flat with thick fat pads.
In the case of childhood flat feet development, the bones that compose the arch move and the ligaments connecting them start to deform over time.
The result: flat feet, turned-in ankles, twisted feet.
The healthy sole is in contact with the ground on three points: in front, at the middle phalanges of the big and little toes, and at the heel. These points form a transverse and lengthwise arch creating better distribution of weight on the arches. Children with flat feet do not develop muscles strong enough for achieving the normal arch.
