FLAT FEET vs. HIGH ARCHES

I’ve been a runner for more than three decades, and I’ve had my fair share of foot problems. Now that I’m in my early forties, I’ve realized that I want to continue to be active for as long as possible. There’s some positive news to report. If runners or anyone else with flat feet or high-arch arches follows particular tactics, they can run pain-free.

 

 

Let’s look at the contrasts between flat-footedness and a high-arch condition. Any of them may strike a chord with you. Next, we’ll look at a tried-and-true solution that works for me.

 

 

Flat Feet

 

Flat-footed people have flat arches, according to the Mayo Clinic. When you stand, your entire foot is in contact with the ground. Flat-footedness is a very frequent ailment. The arches may not have grown during childhood. Injuries to the area could have happened at any time in your life.

 

 

Flatfootedness is a disorder that affects our quality of life as we age, according to a study published in the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research. When patients are flat-footed, they frequently report feeling no pain at all.

 

 

Symptoms include:

 

 

Pain in the heel or arch that worsens with athletic activity

Swollen ankles

 

High Arches

 

A high arch area is defined as the area between the toes and the heel, according to MedlinePlus.gov. You may have a high arch if your shoes don’t have flat soles. This is a more uncommon ailment than being flatfooted. Because the soreness occurs in the middle of the foot, they’re also more uncomfortable. The metatarsals are the bones that connect the toes and ankle on the bottom of the foot. A bone or nerve disease causes arches that are higher than typical.

 

 

Symptoms include:

 

 

The foot is shorter than typical in length.

Running, standing, or walking causes pain.

Fitting into shoes is a challenge.

 

 

I have a high arch with Morton’s neuroma flare-ups on occasion. When I used to run great distances, my high arch condition was exasperating. There’s a reason I said “used to.” Since finding an IDEASTEP, I’ve been able to run pain-free for the first time in a long time.

 

 

An Effective Solution

 

 

For me, the safest treatment was and continues to be IDEASTEP Arch control insoles. The effects of a high-arch or flat-footed ailment can be severe. But when I wear my IDEASTEP, I always feel at ease. In fact, when I don’t have them on during the day, I feel as if something is missing.

 

 

What I enjoy best about these particular orthotic insoles is:

 

 

Fast and easy to customize arch support – I can easily change the support thanks to the unique, exclusive arch control adjustment. There’s no need for me to take my shoe inserts to a specialist every time I need them adjusted. I can resume running without needing to wait for my insoles to be returned from an ortho facility.

 

 

Fits my shoe assortment – more comfortable than my sneakers and boots. They need medium to thick socks, which the IDEASTEP inserts can accommodate. Insoles should not be worn with thin socks or loose-fitting shoes, which is understandable. I don’t want my feet to wobble; I want them to stay put.

 

 

It lasts a long time — I run every day. One pair of shoes can last me up to six months. If I stop jogging and start “normal” activities, they will last up to a year. There’s no way!

 

 

It’s an award-winning solution: IDEASTEP was named the Best Foot Protection Product of 2020 by Industrial Safety and Hygiene News. It is also, in my opinion, the best non-surgical solution.

 

 

IDEASTEP provides relief to persons who suffer from:

 

 

flat-feet conditions – soles that are completely flat

high arches – arches that are higher than typical.

Morton’s Nueroma is a type of nerve discomfort that occurs near the toes.

Plantar fasciitis is characterized by a strong pain in the heel caused by inflamed tissue.

And a host of other foot conditions
