I work out and Absolutely love it! But my arches hurt so bad! Am I doing something wrong?

    I would recommend not doing anything that hurts your arches until you check in with a good PT, DC, or DO.

    Pain = Stop.

    Maybe you're doing too much too soon? Arches are slow to adapt to changes in tension.

    My best guess would be that it is a shoe problem. Are you wearing the correct shoe for your activity? Have you been fitted by a professional?

    This.

    You may need insoles. I have very high arches and insoles fixed my soreness. Pain, though, could signal a bigger problem.
