Best High Arch Insoles
Plantar fasciitis—the pain caused by inflammation of the soft tissue connecting your heel and toe bones—is one of the most common causes of heel pain. Often experienced by runners who pound out miles on the trail or sidewalk, the condition is also a symptom in people carrying excess weight, as well as those with inadequate shoe support. High arch insoles, which vary in style, material, and shape, can help provide better support. If you are suffering from stabbing pain in your heel or other areas of the soles of your feet—in addition to consulting a medical professional for the best advice on the full range of orthotic treatments and remedies—look to these shoe insoles and supports to alleviate some of the pain.
