i go to beauty school and i was getting a pedicure one night and another student was sitting next to me chatting to meand the girl doing it and he looked at me and said it looked like i had fallen arches. What does it mean to have fallen arches? how can it be corrected? and is it a big problem?
To fix it: try picking up stuff with your toes. For example small balls. Or, just curl your toes in (without pointing or flexing your feet) about 20 times a day.
Try wearing those pads you put in your shoes that raise your arch. That will help prevent any other problems.

this can be caused by wearing shoes that dont give you support. do you wear flip flops a lot? or chuck taylors? they give no support.
if you wear flip flops, wear like rainbows. theyre the kind that like mold to your feet, so it gives you support.
also wear like running sheos. once i ran like 4 miles in my chucks because i couldnt find my running shoes, and the next day my feet hurt so much i could barely walk. (haha noo its not cuz of the runnin i normally do like 7 miels)
so buy some nice shoes
hope i helped =] [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]

kittygurl90 answered Sunday November 25 2007, 2:24 pm: it just means you have flat feet. it could become a problem later on in life. so i would suggest going to a foot doctor and getting shoe inserts so you dont get problems. i have inserts in my shoes, they arent bad at all. hope this helps!
