Maybe so, but how do you then explain someone who is a long distance runner with flat feet, who has been running 15 miles every day for at least 20 years of their life, and still doing it? Endurance, anything can be overcome, the mind is very powerful.

Swiftlee:
Good observation, long legs like; antelop leg, goat leg, horse leg among many legs..cos they run faster. If you have big head you wont be accepted in the airforce*reason* your head is capable of pulling down a jet...so if you have a big head like the op who has a flat feet and the person am quoting who has goat legs..dont bother to apply..gracias obrigaaado!

johnemeka: The simple answer is that there is a vein that passes through that curved area and the millitary boot is desinged with that curve.If you have straigth footh,the curve in the boot will constrict or block that vein and make it defficult for blood circulation.when one is on parrade the heart tends to pump faster to push More blood for metarbonism to take place for energy release to carry out action.
Anyone with flat foot will not survilve millitary because once he stays long standing or on parrade with the boot he will feel dizziness and will faint.
During my NYSC service I learnt about this from the Nigerian Red Cross society.this is why any time someone faints, you are adviced to remove the foot wear,belt,cap,loosen up the cloth.
Enjoy!!!
case close NEXT!

dhtml: But lets look at this:

However, three military studies on asymptomatic adults (see section below), suggest that persons with asymptomatic flat feet are at least as tolerant of foot stress as the population with various grades of arch. Asymptomatic flat feet are no longer a service disqualification in the U.S. military.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_feet

You are right. Flat feet was once a disqualifying factor for joining the US Army till post-911 - mass recruitment.


That said, custom orthotics will correct flat-footedness.

Studies analyzing the correlation between flat feet and physical injury in soldiers have been inconclusive, but none suggests that flat feet are an impediment, at least in soldiers who reached the age of military recruitment without prior foot problems. Instead, in this population, there is a suggestion of more injury in high arched feet. A 2005 study of Royal Australian Air Force recruits that tracked the recruits over the course of their basic training found that neither flat feet nor high arched feet had any impact on physical functioning, injury rates or foot health. If anything, there was a tendency for those with flat feet to have fewer injuries.[9] Another study of 295 Israel Defense Forces recruits found that those with high arches suffered almost four times as many stress fractures as those with the lowest arches.[10] A later study of 449 U.S. Navy special warfare trainees found no significant difference in the incidence of stress fractures among sailors and Marines with different arch heights.

engroke: Research shows that during the 2nd world war soldiers with flat foot couldn't survive the rigour of long hour parade n standing which causes weakness on part of the whole army I think that is why till date the military no longer consider people with flat foot. For me I don't have a flat foot I did the test myself and I was happy about the outcome I can stand for long provided am not hungry n not sick
hw did u do d test

Yeah Good explanation bt the idea of removing the shoe of a fainted person in no more in practice as this can result into shock as a result of rapid change in body temperature that result when d feet is cooled down by the atmospheric air .
