Understanding High Arched Feet
High arched feet, medically known as cavus foot, occur when the arch of your foot is unusually high. While some people believe high arches are better than flat feet, this condition can actually lead to significant discomfort and instability if not properly managed. Understanding your foot structure is the first step toward finding effective solutions for any related problems.
This distinct foot structure affects how weight is distributed across your foot, often leading to increased pressure on the ball and heel of the foot. The high arch can also impact your balance and stability, making proper support and treatment essential for maintaining comfort and preventing complications.
