Recently a friend said here 13 yo was having foot problems. She was astonished when I told her that five years ago I told her husband that the child had flat feet. Her doctors has never mentioned flat feet.

I have flat feet but never had foot problems until recently. I started having problems with them several years ago. I now wear orthotic inserts and started jogging again.

How did I diagnose it? I saw his wet foot print on dry cement after he got out of a swimming pool. It was just like mine. If you have an arch, the ground will be dry under the arch. If you have flat feet it will be all wet.

If you know someone who has foot problems, try this test.
