Flat feet or high arches—how can you tell?

Flat feet or high arches—how can you tell?

Did you know that many people have flat feet or high arches without even realizing it? Yet this condition can have a significant impact on your comfort and posture in daily life, and can lead to pain in the feet, knees, or back if left undetected.

 

Flat feet or high arches: what's the difference?

· Flat feet: The arch of the foot is less pronounced, causing the inner part of the foot to touch the ground almost entirely.

· High arches: on the contrary, the arch of the foot is very pronounced, with little contact with the ground.

In both cases, the foot does not absorb shock properly, which can cause pain or lead to fatigue more quickly when walking or exercising.

 

How do you know if this applies to you?

It can sometimes be hard to notice on your own. Just looking at your bare foot isn’t always enough, and some people don’t feel any discomfort until pain sets in.

That’s where the Vistapod platform comes in. Available at pharmacies, it makes it easy to determine your foot type with a quick and simple footprint scan performed on the spot. In just a few seconds, you’ll know whether you have flat feet, high arches, or normal feet, and you can receive personalized advice.

 

Why go to the pharmacy?

Pharmacists can help you use Vistapod for screening and explain the available options, such as orthotic insoles and orthopedic insoles that correct your foot posture and prevent pain.

 

Even if you don’t feel any pain, it’s a good idea to check the condition of your feet. Early detection can prevent future problems and improve your daily comfort. So stop by your local pharmacy and let the Vistapod platform help you get to know your feet better!
