What do you recommend for good arch support?

Answer by  shani1877 (7)

I would recommend a good walking or running shoe for the best arch support. Most walking shoes have a sufficient amount of padding built into the shoe to provide both safety and comfort for the arch of your foot. If you have particularly high arches however you may need to also include special arch support insoles inside your running shoes.

You can wear running shoes since that is always an option. If you are looking for something more formal you may want to try using some doctor scholls inserts. I have high arches and I wear them in most of my shoes.

For good proper arch support you will want custom orthotics. These are available from podiatrists and are fit exactly to your foot shape. Generic supports tend to not really give you all the benefits you could be getting thus never really fix any problems or pain you may be experiencing.

If you're having trouble getting a good support in your existing shoes, try getting a custom insole. They can be pricey, but they'll fit your feet perfectly and you can switch them between different pairs. Some drugstores sell Dr. Scholes insoles or go to an outdoor outfitters to get DeFeet brand. They can help a lot.

Try the new Sketchers Shape Ups. They are expensive but are the best arch athletic shoes ever made. The think arch makes you bounce when you first learn to walk in these. After a few hours they feel like normal and your arches will be well supported. They come in various styles.
