Men with high arches often experience more than just discomfort—they face issues like instability, heel pain, and poor shock absorption. Wearing standard trainers or shoes without proper support can quickly lead to conditions like plantar fasciitis or metatarsalgia.
This guide covers the best men’s shoes for high arches in the UK, highlighting essential features and how the right footwear can help reduce pain, improve posture, and support daily movement.
What Are High Arches?
A high arch (pes cavus) means your foot has a larger-than-average arch, causing:
-
Less surface area to absorb shock
-
Excess pressure on the ball and heel
-
Poor weight distribution
-
Increased risk of foot fatigue, ankle strain, or injury
Supportive footwear is crucial to correct these imbalances.
How to Know if You Have High Arches
You may have high arches if you:
-
Notice foot pain after standing or walking
-
Feel pressure under the heel and ball of your foot
-
Experience frequent ankle sprains
-
Struggle to find shoes that feel supportive without inserts
-
See a clear arch gap when standing barefoot on a flat surface
