What is ankle varus?
Ankle varus is a condition where the ankles roll out, diminishing the stability and overall alignment of the body. If left untreated, ankle varus can lead to chronic ankle instability. People with ankle varus often experience an increase in sprains and progressive weakening of the ligaments. Ankle varus shoes help to balance the foot’s natural tendencies to roll out--significantly decreasing the occurrence of injury. Footwear should have a wide, often flared outsole and extended medial heel stabilizer, to helps to reduce the chronic pain associated with ankle varus while improving foot alignment.
