Best Answer

Your feet have ridges for one good reason: traction. Let's think in the reverse for a second; if your feet didn't have any ridges, then you would have virtually no traction when you walk bare-footed, and you wouldn't be able to keep your feet in your socks, either. So, your feet have traction so you can walk without slipping and falling.

If your feet are flat you can't walk right. You can't walk heel to toe. It just doens't work.
