Excellent point Vicki,

I too have flat feet all my life, I went to a podiatrist many moons ago, I

have to wear my orthotics constantly also. Plantar fascitis can be caused by

flat feet. In addition certain types of EDS can cause flat feet.

due to no support from the ligaments. I used to wear a size 6 1/2 and now I

wear a size 81/2 due to my flat foodedness. Orthotics do help( at least with

me).I sometimes feel that my feet are so fragile that they're going to crack

apart. I have no meat or fat on them at all. I have had to put my orthotics

in my slippers to wear around the house. If I don't my whole ankle will

start throbbing.

My arches have completely collapsed too. I guess one collapsed when I was a teen

and I started walking on the very outside of my foot. Now my foot is completely

detached from my leg. I wear orthotics and now I have a custom brace (my Forrest

Gump brace) for my ankle. When I was pregnant with the last one, my feet turned

into pancakes. I have terrible pain in my feet all the time. I have to have my

shoes (with orthotics and brace) right beside the bed when I get up in the

morning. If I try to balance without them, all my toes dislocate.
