The medial longitudinal arch, the lateral longitudinal arch, and the transverse arch and the metatarsal arch are the four arches of the foot. The ML goes from heel to hallux (heel to big toe), the LL goes from the heel to the little toe, and the TA goes across the bottom of them and the metatarsal arch, formed by muscles and ligaments.
