What causes foot cramps?

Answer by  Atomicrayon (2504)

You may be lacking protein if you experience foot cramping often. Your muscles are sort of "contracting" and, causing your other muscles to be in a place that they're not supposed to be. Just stretch often and make sure you've got enough protein and it won't be a problem!

There can be a number of causes but most of the foot cramps I've had have come from fallen arches. This is likely to be the case if you are having difficulty walking and usually wear flat shoes. You can do stretches to get your arch back to normal.
