Did you know that there are multiple types of foot structures and they vary from person to person? It’s true – there are various foot types and each one requires special care. From properly-fitting shoes to custom soles, there are multiple ways you can care for your feet to avoid pain and podiatry-related issues. How do you know which foot type you have? Our podiatrist in Suffolk, VA explains below.
Low Arches
If your arch almost completely touches the ground while standing, then you have low arches. Commonly referred to as flat feet or collapsed arches, this foot type requires you to wear supportive, well-fitting shoes and often custom insoles. Lack of support can lead to foot issues like plantar fasciitis and heel pain.
Moderate Arch
If you have a well-formed arch with even balance of the ball of your foot and your heel, then you have a moderate arch. Since this is the ideal foot type, there are usually fewer issues and pain experienced. However, foot problems can occur with any foot type, so always make sure to wear well-fitting shoes that provide ideal support.
High Arches
If you bear most of your weight on your heel and forefoot, then you likely have high arches. With excessive weight on your toes, this foot type can lead to issues like calluses and hammertoes. Wide, well-fitting shoes with custom insoles can provide cushioning and support to keep your feet pain-free.
