What Are Dropped Arches?

A very detailed and accurate description of the causes, effects and possible relief for dropped or ‘fallen’ arches can be found on the website WebMD. Basically a dropped arch means the tendons and ligaments are not effectively supporting the bone structure of the foot. The foot may appear flat and the bone structure will have to carry more weight, or even become displaced. Whatever the cause – genetics, injury, disease, weakness or wear and tear – the most fundamental need and help is to strengthen the foot.

Building a Better Foot

Foot Exercise

​Exercises and therapy may help but cannot offer a long term solution because hard surfaces and less than ideal conditions undo the benefits all the time, making it an endlessly recurring cost and effort. An apparatus that works while you walk is a once-off cost and a perpetual benefit. We are not talking about shoes!! Shoes do nothing to stimulate or build muscle strength – they can only cushion and support. A supported arch will never change or strengthen! It needs movement – stretch and resistance.

Walking barefoot on beach sand or a trampoline would eventually build stronger muscle structures in your foot, but if the foot is misaligned to begin with, a support system is also important to balance and rectify the deviation. So the apparatus must fit inside your shoe!

Never heard of anything that will do this?
