Objective: The ability to control static balance in daily activities as well as participation in physical activities is important and necessary. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the symmetry of the soles of the feet of overweight girls compared to normal people. Methods: 22 young girls with mean age of 22.41 ±3.42, height 1.62 ±0.07, weight 70.25 ±7.92, body mass index 26.78 ± 1.67 as overweight group and 22 young girls with a mean age of 21.41 ±1.37, height of 1.63 ±0.05, weight of 52.52 ±4.37 and body mass index of 21.35 ±1.38 were as a normal weight group that formed the statistical sample of this research. Foot indices Includes: transverse arch, heel width, toe width, index line, foot length, staheli and Chipax-Smirak index. Subjects' foot index data were recorded using a camera pedoscope while maintaining static balance. Independent t-test was used to compare the results between groups and paired t-test was used to compare the results within the group to examine the studied samples. Tests were analyzed at a significance level of 0.05 using SPSS software version 24. Results: The results showed a significant difference in transverse arch, staheli index and Chipax-Smirak right and left foot of the overweight group compared to the normal group (P <0.005). But the right and left foot variables of the subjects did not show a significant difference in each group (P >0.05). Conclusion: The findings of the present study showed that overweight has a transient effect on plantar indices and may lead to some plantar malformations such as plantar fasciitis, which is very important in the prevention and management of obesity. It is suggested that research be done to determine whether weight loss simply improves balance skills.
