flatfeet
Collapsed arch condition
Flatfeet is the plural of flatfoot, which has two distinct meanings.
Flatfeet are feet lacking a normal arch, causing the sole to rest flat on the ground.
Separately, flatfeet is slang for police officers, especially those walking a beat—perhaps from the effect of pounding pavement: The flatfeet arrived just as the crooks were leaving.
