Some people have what is called “over supination” or “hyper supination,” which can predispose them to injuries like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains, and stress fractures. You can tell you’re a supinator if you have high arches, your running shoes wear out on the forefoot and outer sole, and if your wet footprints show a thin connection between heel and forefoot on the outside edge of the foot. Having the right shoes can help prevent a world of hurt from developing over time.
Ideal features of footwear for high arched/cavus foot should be:
- A lot of cushioning and shock absorption
- A lightweight, flexible midsole
- Arch support
- Removable foot beds
