FAQs

What heel drop is best for a high arch?
When you have a high arch, your foot tends to stay rigid, putting intense pressure on your heel and the forefoot. While the "perfect" drop varies, the priority is always a shoe with maximum cushion. Many of our customers find that a moderate drop (8-12mm) provides a necessary "crash pad" to dampen impact.

At Orthofeet, we enhance this with our premium Ortho-Cushion® System. Our lightweight ergonomic soles feature a mild rocker design that works with your foot's natural motion, reducing strain and dispersing impact. This supportive construction ensures all-day relief, making our shoes for high arches feel like they are doing the work for you.
Do people with high arches need arch support?
Absolutely. It’s a common myth that only flat feet need arch support. A high arch creates a large hollow space, meaning a tiny percentage of your foot is doing 100% of the work. This lack of contact often leads to instability and the worsening of conditions like plantar fasciitis, which our plantar fasciitis shoes are specially designed to provide relief.

You need a fit that "fills the gap." Orthofeet footwear comes standard with a premium orthotic insole featuring anatomical support and a deep heel cup. This cradles the foot, corrects outward rolling, and ensures weight is distributed evenly across the forefoot and midfoot for a truly comfortable experience.
Is it possible to fix high arch feet?
While you can’t change the bone structure of a high arch without surgery, you can improve your alignment and eliminate pain. The goal is to manage the symptoms of a high arch through supportive interventions that improve how you move.

By choosing an orthotic shoe with extra width and depth, you can redistribute pressure and prevent conditions like metatarsalgia, which our metatarsalgia shoes are designed to address. Orthofeet designs are engineered to offer the perfect fit, combining a wider base with a specialized cushion to make your high arch a non-issue in your daily life.
What do podiatrists recommend avoiding in shoes if you have high arches?
Podiatrists warn against footwear with zero arch support, such as flimsy flats or thin sneakers. You should also avoid narrow toe boxes that pinch the toe area or put pressure on a high instep. These designs often lead to metatarsalgia and chronic heel pain.

At Orthofeet, we avoid these pitfalls by offering wide and extra-wide orthopedic shoe options as well as a wide toe box design. Our shoes for high arches provide a non-binding fit and a cushion-rich interior, ensuring that even the most sensitive feet stay comfortable and supported from morning to night.

Comfort You Can Feel with Every Step

High arches can make every step feel unbalanced or painful especially in shoes that don’t offer the right support. Orthofeet’s high arch support shoes are specifically designed to distribute pressure more evenly and relieve the extra strain often placed on the heel and ball of the foot.

Our built-in orthotic insoles provide contoured high arch support that helps stabilize your foot and reduce overpronation or supination. Cushioning in the heel and forefoot softens impact, while a deep heel cup promotes proper alignment from the ground up.

These shoes for high arches are ideal for people dealing with foot fatigue, metatarsalgia, plantar fasciitis, and even knee or back pain related to poor biomechanics. Lightweight, ergonomic soles promote a smoother gait, while wide toe boxes and stretchable uppers keep pressure points at bay.

Whether you need everyday high arch shoes or a supportive sneaker that fits your lifestyle, Orthofeet helps you walk with ease and confidence.
