Will I get Achilles tendonitis if my feet have naturally flat arches?

Asked a year ago

Hey guys, I've got naturally flat feet. I don't know why. I guess I just never developed arches growing up as a child. What I am wondering, though, is whether this would eventually lead me to experience AT. It's not like I had arches that had fallen, so my tendon should be used to the strain, right?
