For those who categorize their feet as having “high arches,” we’ve got some helpful suggestions.

Hoka One One
Hoka One One running shoes not only provide maximal cushioning, but most of their models offer the Meta-Rocker for a smooth ride. This combination is a great option for walkers and joggers with high arches. Plus the lightweight and high-performance Hoka models can give runners who are looking to break a Personal Record a boost. The Carbon X 2 and the Clifton are neutral models and typically perform well for people who have medium to high arches, provided that they run or walk with neutral mechanics.
