What are the Signs / symptoms of flatfeet?

​

For most young children, the flexible flatfeet deformity is mild and causes no symptoms. They do not suffer from pain, swelling, or sore feet. Children with flexible flatfeet deformity may wear out shoes a bit differently from a normal person, but this is not usually any reason to be concerned.

In moderate to severe cases, the child may report fatigue and tired, sore feet after standing on them all day. During those times, they may limit their own activities to avoid the pain.
