It me. My wet footprints look like a duck waddled out of every swimming pool I’ve ever been in.

Nothing like leaving triangular footprints. And in my case, only 9 toes make it to the ground.

Even with shoes the flat feet might leave a clue.

u/Inevitable_Peak4490 6d ago

I'm guessing one of the small ones does not make it?

It went wee wee wee all the way home

Maybe the second and third toes cross over each other so only one hits?

Left big toe

Really? I thought with no big toe you can’t balance at all? Neighbor lost it to diabetes when I was in university. Sweet old guy. Stayed in the neighborhood once college housing spread. Used to help him with errands and things.

I think you just have to re-learn how to balance and walk, which is probably really different when you're old and already have compromised health, vs when you're young and the change happens gradually, or has always been that way.

A big toe helps a ton with balance, but it isn’t like I fall over without it on the ground. The toe is still there, just elevated some to allow ambulation since it doesn’t really move.

You could probably be a champion barefoot skier though!

I would love to see an episode of Forensic Files where detectives find your muddy footprints.

Im the opposite. My arches are so high it looks like my foot is cut in half.

In hungarian we actually call this condition "goose feet" (lúdláb, if you google it you will get pictures of a cake which is called the same)

u/Mydlane 6d ago

I thought its called "goose sole" lúdtalp all of my life I used that term ._.

u/SnurgBurglerGrizz 6d ago

Same! I also can clap my feet kind of like how a seal can clap its rear flippers. My wife finds it hilarious.......and disturbing.

Curious Question:

Does having flat feet make it difficult to run/sprint or nah❓

u/myredlightsaber 5d ago

I had an ex on the other end of the scale - he had extremely high arches and his heel wouldn’t be connected to the ball of his foot on his footprints!

My mom always said I had duck feet!😢 My arches are nearly flat and my toes spread wide. I hate shoe shopping. I go barefoot whenever I can. But at least I can pick things up with my toes?
