Yes but you don’t really start to notice the shock absorption difference and the joint pain until you’re in your thirties or forties.
Hey! Some of us have had shitty knees since puberty!
Yeah, one day one of my knees cracked weird as a young lad and it was never the same
I ran track in grade 6, but I went to a poor rural school that only had a grass track to practice on. When we went to compete with the townie kids they had a paved track and as soon as I started running it was like my legs forgot how to do it. I could feel the impact all the way through my bones and joints like I was suddenly missing shock absorbers.
Flat feet tend to make knees hurt much earlier, believe me
