Doubtful: There are 2 arteries in the foot that we check- one is on top of the foot and the other is behind the inner ankle bone. Even in normal people these pulses may be somewhat less than forceful. Good pulses in the groin and behind the knee, no symptoms on walking and no risk factors are evidence against PAD in your case. Check again on your next physical.

Might be: Being extremely healthy is a really great way to reduce de incidence of disease, still it doesn't stop it completely from happening. It is important to be evaluated by an angiologist.
