Hazards of High-Arched Feet

High-arched feet are stiff and lack elasticity, failing to effectively cushion the impact between feet and the ground.
They also cause limited ankle dorsiflexion and reduce the contact area between the feet and the ground.
The metatarsal heads become prominently protruding, leading to pain and calluses.
Studies have confirmed that high-arched feet feature insufficient contact between the plantar surface and the ground.
