Introduction: Flat foot is a condition in which the medial longitudinal arch of the foot descends so that most of the soles of the feet touch the surface while standing. This condition can cause biomechanical changes in the lower extremities, such as excessive pronation and changes in body load distribution. These changes affect postural stability and the body's ability to maintain static balance. Methods: This study is an analytical observational study using a cross sectional study design. The sampling technique used in this study is non-probability sampling with purposive sampling with a total sample of 48 students who meet the inclusion criteria. Foot arch measurement using wet foot print test with clarke's angle and static balance measurement using standing stork test. Data analysis used sommer'd test with SPSS version 25. Results: The results of the study using the somers'd test showed that from 48 samples, the results of the analysis of the relationship between flat feet and static balance were obtained, namely p<0.05 which showed that there was a significant relationship with the strength of the weak relationship and the direction of the positive relationship. Conclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a meaningful relationship between flat foot and static balance in children aged 10-12 years.
