Hey Guys. I figured out lately that I have high arches which is causing SO much pain when I run and do step aerobics in my current sneakers. Just wondering if anyone out there has the same issue and what kind of shoes you use or if you have inserts or something you like? Thought I'd ask around before I go find some new sneakers!

    YOU NEED TO GET ORTHOTICS FOR YOUR FEET. tHE JUMPING WITH HIGH ARCHES ARE PULLING ON YOUR TENDONS AND WILL CAUSE plantar fascitis. If you have ever had it you will know how painful it is. Good luck. I use the asics GT 2100 series and my orthotics fit great with them

    I have the same problem and I was fitted with some Brooks running shoes. The Beast. They are for guys but if you find your local running store you'll be able to get some Brooks shoes pretty easy. Some of the best running shoes for people with extra weight or high arches.

    Try Super Feet insoles, I ran a marathon this past year and used them and they worked perfect. They have a website or you can purchase at running stores. THey have a 100% guarantee offer on them, if they dont work you can return and get your money back. Hope this helps!

    I wear Brooks and nothing else now. They are incredible. If you go to a running store, they can fit you properly for a pair.

    LOL

    WE HEARD YOU ALREADY!! STOP YELLING!!! :laugh:

    New Balance might be able to fit you with something too. I know they have shoes for those who pronate (lean heavily to the outside of the foot, or under-pronate, leaning heavily to the inside of the foot). Get fitted by a specialty shop or two.
