The most common reason for misaligned feet is partial talotarsal dislocation, or talotarsal displacement. This condition affects people of all ages. It occurs when the ankle bone displaces off of its normal position and its contact points on the hindfoot bones — in other words, when the balance of the ankle bone on the heel bone is lost. This creates an abnormal, inward rotation of the ankle bone and outer rotation of the rest of the foot, which in turn creates a fundamental imbalance of forces and weight distribution in the foot and also in the rest of the body.
When partial talotarsal dislocation occurs, it creates a damaging misalignment of forces in the foot, as well as throughout the entire body.
