There has been an historical belief that early correction of children's flatfoot will result in the development of an arch. This has not been scientifically tested and proven but remains a prevalent idea with some merit and considerable anecdotal evidence. Originally, pediatric pes planus was addressed using traditional Shaffer plates (high medial flange) and Whitman plates (high medial flange and lateral "clip"). These were often made from stiff sole leather, but other versions were fabricated using steel, aluminum, or Rohadur. Being flexible and correctable, a child's foot could adapt to the rigidity and shape of these devices. The connection between celiac disease and the joint pain of rheumatoid arthritis is not widely understood. While both are autoimmune disorders, their symptoms are so different that a connection is rarely suspected. Additionally, treating one and not the other can result in little or no relief.

With the wrong kind of shoe, the athlete stands to not only injure his foot, but also suffer from joint pain. While the diagnosis may be suspected on clinical grounds, diagnostic ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should be done to better assess the condition of the tendon. With a cavus foot, painful callouses can form under the bases of the first and fifth toes, according to ePodiatry. Callouses can also form along the side or under the heel from the increased pressure and friction. The goals when treating a cavus foot are to redistribute weight over a larger area, relieve any pain and stabilize the foot. These goals can often be accomplished by wearing special foot supports called orthotics. Flat feet was once considered a result of poor health, but it has been proven that athletes such as runners, who are in great condition, also suffer from flat feet. In fact, it’s very common among track runners.
