Best Answer

Hyper-extended legs have a good side, and a bad side. First, the bad side (sorry haha) the bad side is that if they are too hyper-extended, a lot of tension can build up in your knees and that makes it painful to bend and straighten or have your leg straight for a long period of time. Over hyper-extended legs can also increase your chances of breaking or stress fracturing which can lead to breaking. You have to be careful and take good care of your knees if you have hyper-extends.

Now come the good part. C: The good news is is that your feet look really nice (the way the arch). They make your feet look a lot more pointed and they make your legs look longer. Hope that helps :)
