Your feet are the foundation of your body — and the arch structure plays a major role in how you move, balance, and absorb impact. Knowing your arch type helps identify the root cause of pain or discomfort in your feet, knees, hips, or even lower back.
✅ Normal Arch
-
The foot has a natural, moderate curve.
-
Weight is distributed evenly, providing good balance and shock absorption.
-
Usually needs minimal support, but custom insoles can enhance comfort and alignment for active individuals.
🔼 High Arch (Cavus Foot)
-
The arch is raised higher than normal.
-
Pressure is concentrated on the ball and heel of the foot.
-
Common symptoms: pain, instability, ankle strain, and frequent foot fatigue.
🔽 Fallen Arch (Flat Foot)
-
The arch collapses or is very low, causing the entire sole to touch the ground.
-
Leads to overpronation (foot rolls inward), affecting posture and gait.
-
Common symptoms: heel pain, shin splints, knee pain, or lower back discomfort.
