Buy High Arch Supports for High Arch Pain Relief
 
If you have a foot with a high arch, known medically as Pes Cavus, then you may be experiencing foot/ arch pain on a regular basis, and most likely need high arch support. A high 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 – so it’s important to give your feet high arch support as soon as possible. People with a high arch are also at an increased risk for developing multiple stress fractures, and a long standing high arch can lead to the development of hammertoes, so pursuing high arch support should be a priority.
 
How to Determine if You Have a High Arch and Need High Arch Support
 
Before you begin looking into high arch support methods, you must first determine if you have a high arch. You can take the FootSmart Wet Test to discover your foot type. Do you have normal feet, high arches or flat feet?
  • A person with a high arch may note that his/her heel or toes seem to turn inward. If you think you may have a high arch, you’ll want to give your foot high arch support.
  • Those with a high 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. If this is the case with your foot, you may want to start researching high arch support options.
  • In addition, a high arch will result in the first and fifth toes seeming lower as well. So if you feel you have a high arch, you may want to ask your podiatrist about high arch support options.
 
High Arch Supports for Arch Pain Relief
 
A good way to give your foot high arch support: Wear shoes designed for wide and/or problem-prone feet, like adjustable shoes with Velcro®. Another good way to get high arch support is to wear insoles and orthotics, such as those available on FootSmart’s Web site or via our mail-order catalog.

In severe cases, these high arch support options may not be enough to help relieve pain, and surgery may be required to correct any problems associated with this condition. If you have questions about high arch support options, or need help determining if you have a high arch, FootSmart recommends you consult your doctor or podiatrist.
