Best Orthotics for Runners with High Arches

When you have high arches it can be difficult to find orthotics or sneakers to meet your needs.  Most orthotics or insoles are developed and marketed for people with flatfeet.  The problem being that people with high arches have a complete different criteria and needs for their orthotics then people with flat feet.  A person or runner with high arch needs padding, they do not need arch support.  Runners with high arches need an orthotic which provides a great deal of shock absorbtion in your heel and metatarsal area.  With high arches your ability to absorb shock in your feet is low and compound that with running and this can lead to serious issues that only certain types of orthotics can address below I have listed what I believe to be the best orthotics or insoles for runners with high arches:

Run Pro Insoles–  These are one of the few orthotics that are specifically designed for runners with high arches.  This orthotic features forefoot rebound pad (one of the areas in high arches with a great deal of stress).  Now when ordering this orthotic if you choose to make sure to get the high arch profile, which will come with extra padding in the heel as well.

Sorborthane Ultra Orthotic High Arch Insoles–  This orthotic features a great deal of shock absorbtion as well as a low profile and light weight making it ideal for a runner with a high arch

Superfeet Premium Insoles–  These are probably the most popular orthotic for runners with high arches.  This orthotic features a thick profile that provides maximum support.
