| Do You Have a High Foot Arch? FootSmart Can Help! |
| |
| If you have a high foot arch, known medically as Pes Cavus, then you may be experiencing foot/ arch pain on a regular basis. A high foot arch can cause a variety of foot problems, from plantar fasciitis caused by overpronation when the arch is flexible, to corns, calluses and even lower back pain if your foot is rigid. People with a high foot arch are also at an increased risk for developing multiple stress fractures, and a long standing high foot arch can lead to the development of hammertoes. |

| Determining if You Have a High Foot Arch |
| |
|
People with a high foot arch will notice a change in the appearance of his/her foot:
- A person with a high foot arch may note that his/her heel or toes seem to turn inward.
- Those with a high foot arch will see that the arch of their foot, that gap in the middle of the foot, will be higher than normal, with the front part of the foot dropping downward more dramatically than usual.
- In addition, a high foot arch will result in the first and fifth toes seeming lower as well.
