feet, flat

All toddler feet appear to be flat. This is because at that age the foot is not flat, but FAT. It has a fat pad under the arch which stabilizes the foot for walking. If you feel the bones in the foot, you'll notice that the arch is there under that fat pad on the inner side of the sole. Don't worry about it, and don't get suckered into stiff, expensive shoes by some shoe salesman who reminds you "Of course you want the best for your child..." Forty bucks for baby shoes? Get a life.
