The 10 Best Pairs of Running Shoes for High Arches

Picking the right running shoes for your foot’s anatomy is critical for successful training. And if you have problems like flat feet, stability issues or high arches, picking the right ones for your feet can be a little tougher than just finding the flashiest pair on the wall of the running store. Those with high arches should be extra careful when it comes to choosing the right model. So what are high arches? “Having a high arch is a structural foot type where the arch is elevated more than what is considered normal,” says Blake Dircksen PT, DPT, CSCS, Doctor of Physical Therapy at Bespoke Treatments. “High arches are less common than flat feet.”   The main challenge people with high arches face are mobility issues. “If a person has a high arch and a flexible foot, then often the medial side of the foot is a concern,” says Dircksen. “Sometimes high arches can put extra stress on the lateral column of the foot (digits 2 through 5), which aren’t designed to handle the load of the body like the big toe is.” That’s why it’s critical for people with high arches to find the right shoe fit. “The right shoe and/or insert may help mitigate those excessive forces by reducing the impact and spreading the load around,” adds Dircksen.

Picking The Right Shoe For High Arches

PETER MULLER//GETTY IMAGES Starting your search for the perfect shoe designed for high arches? Here are 5 tips you should take to find the right pair. Tip 1: Consider adding an insole. “Often times, when we’re fitting individuals for shoes who have higher arches, there may be instances where adding an insole to the shoe dramatically improves the fit of the shoe,” says Steve Crnic, General Manager at Brooklyn Running Company. “Insoles from brands like Currex or Superfeet, for example, can really help customize the shoe’s fit more effectively, and offers a more contoured fit through the heel and arch.” Tip 2: Focus on the laces. “Look for a lace-up design that doesn’t put too much pressure on the top of your foot. Sometimes, with a higher arch, you will want to make sure you have enough volume in the footbed to accommodate your foot more comfortably,” says Crnic. “As such, it’s important that the lace design allows for more flexibility on top of the foot and doesn’t put too much pressure on the instep, otherwise it may cause pain and discomfort, particularly on longer runs.” Tip 3: Pick the shoe that is the most comfortable. “This is hands down the golden rule for picking a shoe. Even if you’ve been told you need a motion control shoe—if the motion control shoe doesn’t feel right, then go with the other one that was more comfortable,” says Dircksen. “Your feet are sensitive! Picking the right shoe is important. Try them on, walk around, do some jumping jacks, hop on the treadmill—take those bad boys for a spin.” Tip 4: Strengthen your feet and train wisely. “Particularly with high arches, you’ll want to be cautious about increasing your running workload too quickly,” says Dircksen. “Give the feet time to adapt to each new training stress, and find shoes that are going to impact the feet the least.” Tip 5: Rotate your shoes. “This is a big one. Have a few different kinds of shoes on hand and rotate through them throughout the week: some with higher heel:toe drops, some with bigger stack heights, some with cushy foams, and so on,” says Dircksen. “This variety of shoe types will change the way that you load your body and will reduce the risk of overloading one area of your body too often—often the main culprit behind overuse injuries!” This content is imported from poll.
