High Arches And Cavus Foot: A Quick Guide From Our Adelaide Podiatrists

Living with high arches, also known as a cavus foot, can put extra strain on your feet and ankles.

Our experienced podiatrists are here to support your foot health with expert, proactive care so you can avoid discomfort and enjoy your best life possible.

What are the causes of high arches?

  • Genetics—many people are simply born with this shaped foot
  • Hereditary—we often pass on the shape of our feet through generations
  • Certain neurological conditions (e.g. cerebral palsy)

What are the symptoms of high arches?

  • Frequent ankle sprains
  • Pain on the outside of your foot or ankle
  • A feeling of rolling out or instability of the feet and ankles
  • Calluses on your feet
