What causes high arches?

Also known as pes cavus, high arches can form for a number of reasons including genetics and certain medical conditions. Most often, you're born with high arches, but if you develop them over time, it's a sign that you should consult a doctor to rule out a number of neurological conditions.

Certain neurological diseases like spina bifida, cerebral palsy, polio, strokes, muscular dystrophy and Charcot Marie Tooth disease can lead to high arches.

What types of shoes work best for high arches?

1. Shoes with arch support

The best shoes for high arches have advanced arch support mechanisms. Your shoes' insoles should be biomechanically designed to keep your raised arches supported so that weight is more evenly distributed across your feet. 

If you have high arches, the wrong kind of shoes will not allow your bodyweight to evenly distribute across your feet. Instead of your full foot absorbing the pressure of your bodyweight, the load is placed on your forefoot and heels (the areas which connect with the ground as you walk).

People with high arches often tend to roll inwards as they walk (also known as pronation) and shoes with arch support help counteract this too. 

Men's shoes for high arches will be designed with a special arch support mechanism to protect your arches and help distribute the pressure as you walk.

2. Shoes with cushioned footbeds

Most high arch shoes for men have cushioned footbeds that are very soft and supporting. When you walk or stand for a long time, if you have high arches, you put more weight on the ball and heel of your foot. To keep your feet from hurting, look for shoes with footbeds that are soft and supporting. This will also help your foot's ball and heel feel less stressed.

All of the GoldMoral’s elevator shoes—elevator sneakers, elevator boots, and elevator dress shoes and other height increasing shoes—have a footbed that is extra soft, properly contoured, and padded. Not only does this make your shoes incredibly comfortable, it also provides touchpoints along your entire foot to help stabilise your high arches and provide proper foot alignment. 

3. Shoes with shock absorption

High arches shoes for men generally have very good shock absorption built into the shoe. As we mentioned, having high arches can cause excessive strain on other joints and muscles because the foot falls heavily on the balls and heels of your foot. This means that your foot cannot absorb shock as well as someone who does not have high arches. 

To compensate for the lack of natural shock absorption, the best shoes for high arches have shock absorption built into the shoe. All GoldMoral’s high arches shoes have high-quality, shock-absorbing memory foam which is designed to protect the foot in this way.  

4. Shoes with good balance

If you have high arches, there is more pressure placed on the ball and heel of your foot, which can result in difficulties with posture and balance. As such, the best shoes for high arches will help with your balance. Look for men's shoes with sturdy soles and sturdy heels, try a block heel or a heel with a platform for extra support.
