Flat foot10/23/2023 Research has shown that flat feet do not greatly impact the risk of injury among runners. Research by Bradley Neal from Queen Mary University, London, found that flat feet were associated with greater risk of shin splints and patellofemoral pain syndrome, which is a condition well known to most runners, but that it had no real effect on the risk of injury to other areas such as the feet or ankles. Tong at the KK Women’s & Children’s Hospital in Singapore found that runners with flat feet had only a slightly higher risk of injury than those with normal feet and arches. High-arched feet have an extra hard time absorbing impact, which can result in ankle injuries. This can be observed from the very large inward curve in the center of the footprint.
