People with High Arches have the Pes Cavus Foot Type. This differs from Normal Arch or Flat Feet (called Pes Planus). Pes Cavus occurs in 10-15% of the population, and never get good arch support from shoes alone. Due to the abnormal excessive weight better in the heel and ball of the foot, these areas can develop more problems. Therefore, diagnoses of plantar fasciitis (primarily heel pain) and metatarsalgia are common in pes cavus feet. The article below discusses this problem.
So, if you have high arches, the weight bearing across the bottom of your feet is not evenly spread. More weight or pressure is centered on the heels and ball, with no weight in the middle of your feet (mid foot). Arch Supports to put some weight in the middle of your feet can be very helpful. My next post will talk about the instability problems produced by pes cavus, the most unstable foot type.
