eli5: Why are flat feet generally worse than arched feet, when you have more surface area making contact with the ground?
In: 191
Speaking as a goose (i.e got flat feet) I have bad posture by reflex due to my condition. My knees, hips and lower back take extra strain, not to mention the various chronic problems Im likely to have as I age because of it. There are ways to mitigate it though, and I have next to no complains myself, but my great grandparents who didnt treat this could barely walk in the senior years sue to flat feet (they legit walked like geese).
