Is there a way to fix flat feet?

Yes: If the feet are flexible then an orthotic will help. If not flexible then surgery is the option.

Yes: To fix a flat foot requires surgery. Insoles do not fix a foot type but are made to restrict excess motion and to relieve pain. There are several surgical procedures that can fix a flat foot, but they vary depending on severity and other factors. I hope this helps!

Fixing is usually: surgical. Orthotics can help elevate the arch but only when wearing shoes. Some patients can have a minimally invasive surgery if the deformity is not so bad. This is a subtler arthroeresis. Others may need a flatfoot reconstruction.

Hyprocure: Some people have a flexible flat feet and others feet become more rigid over time. Although there are major reconstructive surgeries available for flat feet for the rigid flat foot; some maybe benefit from a minimally invasive procedure call Hyprocure for the flexible flat foot. Consult your podiatrist to see if you are a candidate for this procedure.
