My feet are going flat. How do I remedy this and make my arches go higher (without surgery?)?

1. You can prevent your arches from weakening by wearing orthotic insoles with strong arch support. Flat feet (or low/fallen arches) can lead to over-pronation, a biomechanical imbalance that may cause serious problems over time. When people who suffer from over-pronation stand or walk, the arches collapse with every step they take, and the ankles roll inwards. Pronation itself is not wrong as we need to pronate and supinate as part of our gait. Pronation (rolling in) acts as a shock-absorbing process and supination (rolling out) helps to propel our feet forward. Flat feet or fallen arches may lead to uncomfortable, and even painful conditions such as plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. The most effective treatment solution for over-pronation is to wear an orthotic shoe insert. For more information please refer to links below.
