Flat feet or high arches causing pain or instability? Your foot structure is assessed by a Registered Chiropodist at our Don Mills clinic, with custom orthotics if appropriate. No referral needed — book online in under a minute.

Consider an Assessment if You Notice:

• Arch, heel, or foot pain when standing or walking

• Feet that roll inward, or ankles that feel unstable

• A visibly flat (collapsed) or unusually high arch

• Uneven wear across your shoes

• Foot fatigue after activity or long days on your feet

• Related knee, hip, or lower-back discomfort

What Happens at Your Appointment

Your Chiropodist evaluates your foot structure, how you stand and walk, and any symptoms you have, then recommends an approach that suits you. This often includes custom orthotics, footwear guidance, or other tailored care. Not every flat or high arch needs treatment — the goal is to address any discomfort or instability it is causing.

Flat Feet vs. High Arches

Flat feet (planus foot) involve a low or collapsed arch; the forefoot may point outward and the ankle may roll inward, and over time this can contribute to a tight Achilles tendon, bunions, or hammertoes. High arches (cavus foot) sit unusually high, concentrating weight on the ball and heel of the foot, which can cause pain and a feeling of instability that raises the risk of ankle sprains. Both structures affect how weight is distributed and how your foot absorbs shock. A foot assessment can determine whether your foot structure is contributing to your symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do flat or high arches always need treatment? Not necessarily — many people have no symptoms. Your Chiropodist can assess whether your foot structure is contributing to any discomfort you are experiencing.

Can orthotics help flat or high arched feet? Custom orthotics may be recommended to support your foot structure and address biomechanical concerns, depending on your assessment. Your Chiropodist will discuss options suited to your needs.
