I have flat feet. This was so painful that it was hard for me to walk at all. My Taoist Tai Chi® arts instructor helped me find moves from the set that I could do, first only a little, but with daily practice more and more. Now some 10 years later my feet get tired and ache but there is no severe foot pain.
