They laugh at them because legs are supposed to be straight, and only straight legs are considered aesthetically appealing. Knees aren't supposed to bend inwards. Some say that strengthening your hamstrings, or the back muscles of the thigh, will relieve some of the pain in the knee due to 'knock knees'.

Knock knees?
DefinitionKnock knees is a condition in which the lower legs are positioned at an outward angle. When the knees are touching, the ankles are separated.Alternative NamesGenu valgumCauses, incidence, and risk factorsMost children develop a slight knock-kneed stance by the time they are 2 or 3 years old, often with significant separation at the ankles when the knees are touching. This is part of normal development and often persists through age 5 or 6, at which time the legs begin to straighten fully. By puberty, most children can stand with the knees and ankles touching (without forcing the position).Knock knees can also develop as a result of a disease, most often one that has already been diagnosed.Signs and testsIf a doctor's examination and review of the child's medical history indicate a specific cause for the knock knees other than normal development, your health care provider will order the appropriate studies.TreatmentKnock knees are usually not treated. Surgery may be considered for knock knees that persist beyond late childhood and in which the separation between the ankles is severe.Expectations (prognosis)Children normally outgrow knock knees without treatment, unless there is an underlying disease. For cases requiring surgery, the procedure provides excellent cosmetic results.ComplicationsDifficulty walking (very rare)Self-esteem changes related to cosmetic appearance of knock kneesIf left untreated, knock knees can lead to early arthritis of the kneeCalling your health care providerCall your health care provider to schedule an evaluation if you suspect your child has knock knees.PreventionThere is no known prevention for normal knock knees.ReferencesSass P, Hassan G.
