A very high-arched foot (pes cavus), normally very firm and rigid with an outward tilt of the heel (varus), an in-flair on the forefoot (adduction), and high pressure points on the sole and heel of the foot.

Shoe Recommendations
A neutral cushioned shoe is needed with good heel and forefoot cushioning. Neutral shoes do have good arch support but do not have stability features which tend to push your feet to the outside.

Feet come in all shapes, sizes and conditions. Most people will have an arch that runs along the inner side of the foot which leaves a gap between their foot and the ground. When this arch is higher than average, you are considered to have a foot condition known as high arch feet. You will be able to see the form of an arch when standing with your weight bearing down on your feet. You may also notice your heel tilting inward toward your ankle or toes that appear to be clawed when you have this common foot condition.

The problem with regular shoes is that they are not designed to accommodate different foot conditions like high arch feet, so you may end up with painful problems like corns and calluses on your feet and toes. Because they lack stability features, regular shoes tend to push your feet outwards. When your feet come into contact with pavement thousands of times every day, it is easy to see how wearing improper shoes can cause and then prolong foot pain.

New Balance shoes were designed with foot issues like high arch in mind. New Balance shoes are very firm and rigid and they cause an outward tilt of your heel, an in-flair on the forefront and high pressure points on both the sole and heel of the foot. They are also naturally cushioned for maximum comfort, making New Balance shoes ideal for your high arch feet. After a long day of being on your feet, you will notice that you no longer have corns, calluses, arch or heel pain or any other problems associated with wearing shoes that were not designed to work with your unique foot shape.
