Understanding High Arches
High arches, or "pes cavus," are identified by a pronounced arch that doesn’t make contact with the ground when standing flat-footed. This condition can lead to extra stress on the heel and forefoot.
Performing a wet footprint test will reveal a unique pattern: impressions are made only by the heel and forefoot, with the arch area remaining untouched, illustrating why high arches are often called "hollow foot." Those with high arches typically find that they bear weight on the outer (lateral) edges of their feet, which can result in a range of foot health issues that need specialized support.
What Causes High Arches?
High arches may be congenital or develop over time due to a range of factors. It’s important to recognize the cause for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

What Types of Pain Can High Arches Cause?
In many cases, high arches result in a range of discomforts throughout the body due to increased stress on the midfoot bones. This stress concentrates weight on the forefoot, potentially causing foot pain during activities like standing, walking, or running, and this discomfort can spread to the ankle, knee, hip, and back.

High arches may also lead to issues such as:
• Pain in the foot
• Heel pain
• Plantar fasciitis
• Arch pain
• Corns and calluses on the ball, side of the foot, or heel
• Hammertoes
• Stiffness and inflexibility in the arch
• Tightness in the lower calf muscles
Individuals with high arches are prone to supination, or underpronation, where the arches do not effectively absorb shock, and the foot fails to roll inward adequately upon impact.
This can result in undue stress on the outer parts of the foot, leading to various complications, including:
• Pain along the iliotibial (IT) band
• Knee discomfort
• Achilles tendonitis
• In cases of severe supination, there may be risks of inversion ankle sprains, heel spurs, and stress fractures
