Patient's question:
My girlfriend has flat feet, but she often likes to wear high heels. Every time she asks me to go shopping with her, she can't walk properly and sometimes even needs me to carry her back. I don't want her to wear high heels, but I wonder what kind of shoes are comfortable for people with flat feet?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Flat feet are a symptom caused by congenital abnormal bone growth and development. Generally, patients with flat feet are not recommended to walk for long periods. When choosing shoes, it's advisable to wear loose, comfortable, and breathable footwear. However, avoid wearing high heels or shoes with excessively thick soles. Flat-footed individuals should pay attention to avoiding excessive activity in daily life to prevent leg and foot pain.
