Answer 1

You answered your own question.  Those with flat feet tire more easily and are at greater risk for overuse injuries, such as shin splints, problems with one's knees among other conditions.  If you'd like help correcting your feet, I can help.  Email me [e-mail].  It's free!

Answer 2

Yes it can.  I am flat footed and i fractured both my heels just by hiking.  If you go to a podiatrist, they can make special inserts for your shoes that will help correct you flat footed-ness and strengthen your feet.

Answer 3

No not if they don't hurt you/cause discomfort.
