If you have high arches, it’s important to choose running shoes with extra cushioning. It will help protect your feet against injuries caused by overpronation.   Overpronation is a common problem among people with high arches when their feet roll inward too much while walking or running. While overpronation can lead to knee pain and injuries in some cases, others aren’t bothered by it at all—and can instead suffer from foot pain caused by underpronation.   Whether you have normal arches or high arches, look for cushioning along the inside of your shoe. This area should be relatively soft so that your foot isn’t being pushed too far forward inside your shoe during each step.
