When doing HIIT (or any jumping for that matter), what helps the arch pain to make it endurable? I have the cardio capacity for intensive workouts, but sometimes I have to stop because my arches are burning. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Do you have orthodics? See a podiatrist and get fitted for a pair. I can't exercise without them!

Definitely orthotics. I have a set for every pair of shoes I own (even soccer cleats and hockey skates). I don't think I'd be able to be so active without them. You should really look into getting a pair.

Thanks! I will definitely be looking into some.

custom orthodics from a podiatrist are the best, and the only way my feet actually allow me to run and jump. but these type take awhile to order since they need to be molded to your feet.

if you just want a pair of cheap but good quality ones that you can start out on use this site, http://www.alevafootcare.com/. they are very cheap.

i would recommend to NOT get the doctor scholls ones at walgreens, etc. they do not last long at all and they are not made to hold your arch up as well.
