Flat foot is a condition where the longitudinal arch or instep of the foot collapses and comes in contact with the ground. In other words we can say that when the entire sole of the foot is in contact or near contact with the ground while standing then it is considered as flat foot.  The reason behind is that there is no arch to the foot.
