Ankle Valgus
Normal Foot
What is Ankle Valgus?
Ankle valgus is a condition characterized by the inward tilting of the heel during weight-bearing. This misalignment can lead to discomfort in the foot, ankle, knee, or other parts of the body. Ankle valgus often occurs in conjunction with flatfoot or pronated foot.
Our Shoe Recommendation
Shoes for individuals with ankle valgus should provide good support to reduce stress on the foot and correct the misalignment.
Custom orthotic inserts may be a helpful option to improve support and correct ankle valgus.
Caution regarding shoes with soft soles and no heel support
Shoes with soft soles and no heel support promote fallen arches and exacerbate the collapse of the longitudinal arch of the foot (pronation).
GANTER shoes support the foot in its natural position through the footbed and heel fit.
