Insoles For High Arches That End Arch Aches

High arches are often praised and rarely comfortable. The gap under the foot leaves the ball and heel taking all the impact, which is why they ache.

The fix is cushion in the right spots, not more arch under a foot that already curves high. Too much lift pushes a high arch into its own kind of pain.

• Choose generous cushion under the ball of the foot.
• Add a deep heel cup to hold the foot steady.
• Avoid tall rigid arches that press into the foot.
• Look for a soft top layer that cradles rather than pokes.

High arched feet do best with shock absorption at the ends and gentle support in the middle. Once that balance is right, long walking days stop ending in sore heels.
