Yet, most runners shoes never get a shoe with high arches. They get a neutral support shoes that allows the foot to move without arch support. These shoes tend to have soft cushioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Zero Drop Shoes are generally good for most people with high arches. If zero drop shoes have minimal cushioning it&#8217;s recommended to gain foot strength first. A zero drop shoe can help with foot muscle development which may help reduce pain in some people with high arches.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing a zero drop shoe may help strengthen your foot and help your foot feel better overall, although some people with high arches may still benefit from orthotic arch support. In, addition, foot exercises can help relieve some issues over time.

You may have <strong>foot problems<\/strong> associated with having a high arch such as plantar fasciitis, hammertoes, arch stiffness, knee pain, metatarsalgia, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have high arches you probably have seen wear on the outside edges of your shoe. This occurs with those who have high arches because their <strong>ankles tend to lean out<\/strong> (under-pronate or supinate) because of their high arch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When deciding on the shoes you should wear, it can important to consult your doctor to <strong>get the right diagnosis<\/strong> and to help you choose different options that may be available to you. They may recommend a specific type of shoe, an orthotic, or exercising your feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be looking for shoes that reduce the amount of pain in your feet and other joints. Having high arches usually means most of the weight is placed on the heel and ball of the foot and less impact is placed on the arch. Shoes with more cushioning tend to help reduce the impact that occurs with those with high arches.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So should you get a <\/strong>zero drop shoe? Many people with high arches can benefit from a zero-drop shoe because they can help strengthen their feet. Stronger foot muscles can absorb more energy from impacts and can help reduce the impact on the heel and ball of the foot when walking, running, or other activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-black-background-color has-black-color is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2\"><strong>Zero Drop Shoes Help Distribute Weight Better<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/helpshoe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Copy-of-Copy-of-High-Arches-Right-Shoes.jpg\" alt=\"High Arches Right Shoes\" class=\"wp-image-8547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/helpshoe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Copy-of-Copy-of-High-Arches-Right-Shoes.jpg 600w, https:\/\/helpshoe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Copy-of-Copy-of-High-Arches-Right-Shoes-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p><strong>Cushioning Changes Weight Distribution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of runners love to have a <strong>thick cushion<\/strong> in the heel of their running shoe because then they can land on their heel and not feel the impact of the landing much at all. This might seem like a good idea at first but over time it may lead to <strong>less foot strength<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A thicker midsole feels so soft and seems to prevent injuries, but when runners wear them they get into the habit of impacting the ground harder on their heel. They can tend to land straight-legged when taking longer strides. This can<strong> reduce muscle activation<\/strong>, weaken the foot, and <strong>impact the knees<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The<strong> cushioning prevents<\/strong> the arch and the muscles from doing their job, so feet tend to get weaker over time if they are in a shoe with lots of cushion. Injuries occur with longer runs. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zero drop shoes can have a lot of cushioning but<strong> tend to have less<\/strong>. They tend to allow more midfoot and forefoot landings when running. This helps the arch absorb and reduce the level of energy needed when running.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These shoes put the heel and the ball of the foot on <strong>an even plane <\/strong>so it&#8217;s as if they are on a flat surface. This lets the arch do its job more often and helps the muscles activate more as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-black-background-color has-black-color\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More Even Weight Distribution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A zero drop shoe tends to &#8220;<strong>move, bend, and flex in a more natural way&#8221;(Link &#8211; <\/strong><a style=\"outline: none;\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/helpshoe.com\/zero-drop-shoes-for-walking\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-id=\"2308\"><strong>I wrote an article about zero drop shoes for walkin<\/strong><\/a>g<strong>).\u00a0<\/strong>This helps your muscles activate more and get stronger.

This helps you walk in a more natural biomechanical way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You benefit from more muscle use and since your heel is not longer lifted high, your <strong>Achilles tendon and plantar facia<\/strong> can function as intended. (If you have <strong>pain <\/strong>in your Achilles tendon or have <strong>plantar fasciitis don&#8217;t use zero drop shoes<\/strong>; you need to heal first and slowly gain foot strength.) \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zero drop shoes usually have a <strong>wide toes box, <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">so<\/span><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>your toes get used more, helping you gain better control and foot strength.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have <strong>medical issues<\/strong> with your feet, a zero drop shoe may not be what you need at first. Your feet need to stronger like an active walker or runner. Then using a zero drop shoe will likely benefit you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if you have a shoe with a high drop and <strong>don&#8217;t<\/strong> try going to a zero drop shoe right away; <strong>transition slowly<\/strong>. Your foot needs time to get used to them and adjust. Spend a little more time each week in your zero drop shoes, but not so much that your feet hurt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-black-background-color has-black-color is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3\"><strong>Zero Drop Shoes Help With Muscle Development<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/helpshoe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Muscle-Development-High-Arches.jpg\" alt=\"Muscle Development High Arches\" class=\"wp-image-8548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/helpshoe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Muscle-Development-High-Arches.jpg 600w, https:\/\/helpshoe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Muscle-Development-High-Arches-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p>If you have flat feet or high arches, the more muscles you develop in your feet, the more likely your muscles can absorb impacts even if your arch is too low or too high.

Some zero drop shoes do have lots of cushion while others are more minimal. Either way, your foot will likely benefit from more use of your muscles in a zero drop shoe.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It comes down to support and form&#8221; (See my article &#8211; <a style=\"outline: none;\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/helpshoe.com\/does-barefoot-running-heal-injuries-5-ways-it-can-help\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-id=\"2310\">Does Barefoot Running Heal Injuries?<\/a>).

It needs steel rebar to hold it together and keep it strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our foot is similar to a wall. We have &#8220;<strong><b>26<\/b> bones, 30 joints&#8221;, <\/strong>and lots of ligaments.
