In a healthy foot, an arch forms on the inner side. When you&#8217;re standing, a little space like that is very acceptable. People who suffer from Pes Planus, sometimes known as &#8220;Flat feet,&#8221; have an arch that is abnormally low or nonexistent. When this arch is absent, the feet have the propensity to roll inward when walking or standing, and they have the propensity to point outward.
