<p>“Flat feet,” as defined by The Mayo Clinic, is a common and typically painless condition that occurs when the arches of the foot do not develop in childhood. “You have flat feet when the arches of your feet are <em>flattened</em>, allowing the entire soles of your feet to touch the floor when you stand up,” as described on the clinic’s Web site.</p><div class="container"><div class="eight columns alpha"><img alt="" src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2341/9857/files/clogs-seoul-navy_large.jpg?v=1556738925"></div><div class="eight columns omega"><p>In some cases, however, flat feet can develop following an injury or from the natural stress that progresses with age. If you aren’t experiencing pain, treatment isn’t necessary. Nevertheless, flat feet can contribute to problems in your ankles and knees because the condition can alter the alignment of your legs.</p><p>If you begin to experience pain, the most common therapy is to wear supportive shoes. “A structurally supportive shoe might be more comfortable than shoes with minimal support,” states The Mayo Clinic.</p><p>The best shoes for flat feet have good arch support and a proper fit. Choose a shoe that does not have a “bendy” sole as the middle of your feet need support. Pick a shoe that is difficult to move, as you should not be able to twist it either. Finally, proper heel support is essential, as a stiff shoe seems to provide the most care for those with flat feet.</p></div></div><div class="container"><div class="eight columns alpha"><p>It is for this reason people have turned to clogs.</p><p>Sandgrens’ has a collection of classic wooden clogs, including the Saragasso and Seoul, that showcase a low heel and a sturdy base that resists the aforementioned manipulation.
