The arch of the foot usually develops by the age of 3. In a small percentage of the cases, flat foot disorder is congenital. However, flat feet can develop at any age when the foot is under an increased and demanding load.
Ages 2 to 6: This is the age when children are already forced to wear shoes during the entire day and they also have to walk a lot at this age.
Ages 6 to 10: Children sit in school all day and their feet get numb and leg muscles atrophy.
Ages 10 to 14: They experience a sudden growth spurt.
In fact, every age group can develop flat feet - even in adulthood - as a result of lengthy disability or simply a lack of proper exercise for a long period.
