Pes Cavus (High Arch)

Pes Cavus is a term used to describe a foot with an arch that is too high. A high-arched foot is painful because additional stress is placed on unnatural places on the foot. This type of foot typically requires therapeutic footwear that can be modified to accommodate the arch. Shoes designed for pes cavus (high arches) offer specialized support and cushioning to reduce pressure on the ball and heel of the foot. These shoes typically feature enhanced arch support, shock-absorbing midsoles, and a contoured footbed to promote stability and comfort. Ideal for individuals experiencing foot pain, instability, or calluses due to high arches, pes cavus shoes help distribute weight more evenly and improve overall foot alignment. Suitable for daily wear, walking, or light activity, they provide relief and protection tailored to the unique needs of high-arched feet.

Drew footwear has extended medial heel stabilizers, steel shanks and specially designed Lasts that help relieve high arch pain and allow for added walking stability.
