Splay Foot is challenging to live with, to say the least! The condition can affect one or both feet and often leads to various issues and symptoms that can interfere with daily activity and quality of life.

Those who suffer from Splay Foot will notice a reduction in their quality of life due to the pain and discomfort caused. If not treated, the whole body can become impaired due to the wrongly positioned placement of the foot.

What is Splay Foot?

Splay Foot is characterised by the flattening or widening of the foot or feet. It is a congenital condition that is either present from birth or develops over time and can affect one or both feet. Splay Foot occurs when the metatarsal bones in the forefoot spread so far apart that it results in the disappearance of the foot’s arch. The outcome is often painful and the feet will progressively grow weaker if not corrected.

What Causes Splay Foot?

The most common cause of Splay Foot is genealogy. Most individuals who suffer from the condition have been genetically predisposed to it, and it is therefore a hereditary issue. However, Splay Foot can be caused by a number of factors and the specific cause may vary from person to person. 

Here are some of the believed causes of Splay Foot:

  • Genetics
  • Weak ligaments and muscles
  • Improper footwear or poor-fitting shoes
  • Repetitive strain on the feet
  • Ageing and natural wear and tear
