What is forefoot varus? does it cause flat feet?

When the inner: Portion of the foot (medial aspect) is higher than the later side because the foot is inverted on the frontal plane. Whether it causes a flatfoot or not is very debatatable, and not enough space here to get into.

DEPENDS: This is more complicated than what can be said in 400 words. There is uncompensated and compensated FF varus. If you have the latter, it can cause flat feet. Your podiatrist has to do a biomechanical exam.
