Custom Orthotics For High Arches

High arches can concentrate pressure on certain areas of the foot and provide less natural shock absorption during standing, walking, and exercise. For people experiencing discomfort or instability, custom orthotics for high arches can provide support and cushioning designed around the unique shape and mechanics of their feet.

Rather than relying on a pre-made arch profile, a custom orthotic can account for your individual foot structure, pressure points, footwear, activity level, and areas of discomfort. This individualized approach can help distribute pressure more evenly and provide support where your feet need it most.

What are high arches?

High arches, also known as pes cavus or cavus feet, occur when the arch along the inside of the foot remains unusually elevated, including while standing and bearing weight.

Because a high-arched foot may make contact with the ground over a smaller area, more pressure can become concentrated around areas such as the heel and ball of the foot. Some people with high arches may also experience calluses, foot fatigue, discomfort, or ankle instability.

High arches do not necessarily cause problems or require treatment. The degree of the arch, flexibility of the foot, underlying cause, footwear, activity level, and individual symptoms can all affect whether additional support is useful.

How do custom orthotics help with high arches?

Orthotics can help manage how pressure and forces are distributed through a high-arched foot. Because high arches may place greater loads on specific areas of the heel and forefoot, an orthotic can provide cushioning, support, and pressure redistribution based on the individual's needs.

Custom insoles for high arches are designed around the person's actual foot rather than a standardized arch shape. This allows the orthotic to account for factors such as arch structure, areas of high pressure, foot mechanics, footwear, activity level, and areas of discomfort.

Depending on the individual, custom orthotics may help improve comfort, reduce excessive pressure on sensitive areas, and provide greater stability during standing, walking, or exercise.

Custom orthotics are not intended to permanently change the underlying shape of a high-arched foot. Instead, they can provide an individualized interface between your feet and your shoes to better accommodate your structure and support your specific needs.

Standard insoles vs custom insoles for high arches

Over-the-counter insoles designed for high arches can provide additional cushioning and general support. They are inexpensive, readily available, and offered in a variety of pre-made arch shapes and cushioning levels.

The limitation is that two people with high arches can still have very different feet. Arch height, flexibility, pressure distribution, heel position, footwear, activity level, and areas of discomfort can all vary even when both people would describe themselves as having high arches.

Custom orthotics for high arches take those individual differences into account. Rather than selecting the closest available pre-made insole, a custom orthotic can be designed around the shape and support needs of your own feet, allowing cushioning, pressure distribution, and support to be personalized.

Why choose custom orthotics?

Stryder custom insoles are made to provide support that matches the unique shape and structure of your feet. Standard orthopedic insoles and generic shoe inserts use pre-made shapes, while custom orthotics can be designed around your individual foot structure, mechanics, pressure distribution, and support needs.

Our custom-made insoles are created from impressions of your feet, allowing the orthotic to provide custom arch support while also accounting for factors such as footwear, activity level, and areas of discomfort. Each pair of custom molded inserts is reviewed by a licensed podiatrist and handcrafted to provide a more individualized fit and level of support than a one-size-fits-most insole.
