Fallen Arches on your feet

[desura]

Lately I've been worried that the arches on my feet might fall.

I read up on it. It seems that the way to go is to gradually strengthen the muscles in the foot by exercises and in using zero-heel shoes.

Fallen arches seems to be caused by I would guess overuse of the foot and damage to the muscles "arching" it up.

I haven't been able to figure out though like how to best stand in order to minimize stress to the feet. Equal weight on both feet seem obvious. Since fallen arches seems to happen a lot to high-heels wearers, maybe the key is keeping more weight on the balls of your feet as opposed to the forefoot?

Do you regularly worry about unusual things happening? Have you been diagnosed with hypochondria?

I'm pushing 60 and don't have fallen arches...and I've abused the hell out of my feet over the years.

Feet flatten with age. I don't think there is anything you can do to avoid it.

I've had flat feet since birth, not a real big deal.

I have overly arched feet that cramp when I even think about them. When I use them too much it feels like fractures in the arches. I wish they would just go ahead and "fall."

I'm pretty sure flat feet and falling arches are not the same thing.

OP could do a better job explaining.

You could well be right, but either way, you don't have an arch.

Just get a really good blowjob, your feet will arch back up in no time.

I have flat feet my entire life, I'm fine.

I've been reading about the topic recently since i have had flat feet all my life. They say that having flat feet isn't a problem but having weak flat feet is.

Fallen Arches happens when the golden arches are hit by tornados..

Muscles don't form the arch, tendons do. Unless you have strangely stretchy or torn tendons in your feet (and you'd definitely know if you had the latter), you likely don't have anything to worry about.
