High arches, also known as cavus feet, occur when the arch of the foot sits higher than normal. This can place extra pressure on the heel and ball of the foot, often leading to discomfort, instability, and a reduced ability to absorb impact during walking or running.
At The Foot Clinics, we assess and treat high arches across Albury, Wodonga and Wagga Wagga, helping reduce pressure, improve support, and protect long-term foot function.
High arches are a foot posture where the middle of the foot is raised more than usual. This means less of the foot makes contact with the ground, which can reduce stability and concentrate load through smaller pressure areas.
