the claim

Flat feet increase the risk of running-related injuries.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
5 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that flat feet increase the risk of running-related injuries?

Unclear. Several small studies report that flat feet are associated with altered biomechanics or a higher risk of musculoskeletal injury, and one cohort of older Thai joggers found low arch associated with running injuries. None of the placed items directly establishes that flat feet increase the risk of running-related injuries in general.
