 boonchai wedmakawandGetty Images Show If the arch of your foot—the area between the ball of your foot and the heel—is on the high side, you’re not alone. According to the Cleveland Clinic, approximately 20% of the population have a high arch. “High arched feet are also called ‘cavus feet,’” says Jacqueline M. Sutera, D.P.M., a New York City/New Jersey-based board-certified podiatric surgeon. “It is thought to be called this because the arch is more raised than a normal arched foot, and the space between the arch and floor looks to be shaped like a ‘cave.’” Also, having a high arch means your foot is structured to naturally place too much weight on the outside of your foot when walking or standing, states Brad Schaeffer, D.P.M., a New York City-based board-certified podiatrist and foot & ankle surgeon, and star of the TLC show, My Feet Are Killing Me. “The actual arch, the area between your toes and heel on the bottom of the foot, bends or arches away from the floor, which is the opposite of a flat foot,” he continues. Keep in mind that slipping into the correct shoes for your feet is essential. “People with high arches are typically prone to rolling the ankle and having knee and hip problems in the future when not supported properly,” explains Dr. Schaeffer. The two take-home tips are to wear shoes that support the arch, as well as stabilize the heel in a more neutral position, he says. And the good news is there are plenty of stylish options on the market. “Nowadays—more than ever—there are many brands that make on-trend, good-looking shoes that don't sacrifice comfort and support,” adds Dr. Schaeffer.

Opt for shoes that allow enough room for toes to move around unrestricted, says Dr. Schaeffer. “Constricting shoes, whether flat or very high heeled, can have really adverse outcomes for your feet and body, and can exacerbate existing issues.” ✔️ Keep it light. Dr. Sutera says that people with a higher arched foot tend to prefer shoes that are accommodating, lighter and cushioned. Dr. Schaeffer concurs and stresses that stay away from shoes that too tall, flat or stiff, as well as shoes that constrict your feet at any point. “The goal is achieve a neutral foot type movement, especially if you have high arches,” he adds. How do I know if I have a high arch? “Here’s a fun and easy trick for self-diagnosis: When your feet are wet (like from getting out of the tub, shower or a pool,) step on the floor and look at your footprint,” suggests Dr. Schaeffer. “Is the print flat like a pancake where you see the whole foot—or do you see space in the middle at the arch? Of course, the best determination is to have your feet checked by a podiatrist.” Amy Capetta Amy Capetta has been writing health and lifestyle articles for over 15 years.
