flat feet
Soles without curves
Flat feet are feet that lack the typical arch on the inner side, causing the entire sole to touch the ground when standing.
The condition is common in children and often resolves naturally, though some adults retain flat feet permanently.
Also called fallen arches.
The army used to reject recruits with flat feet.
