Flat feet can only be truly identified while the individual is standing or walking. When someone with flat feet stands or walks, their inner foot or arch flattens. In addition, the foot may roll over to the inner side (this is known as excessive subtalar pronation).
Typically, the arches of children may not fully develop until the age of 10, therefore it can be difficult to assess whether they have flat feet until this age.
