High Arched Feet (Pes Cavus)

Stability and Comfort for Cavus Foot

Supportive Care for Painful High Arches

High arched feet, or pes cavus, occur when the arch of the foot is unusually high, placing excessive pressure on the ball and heel during standing and walking. This condition can affect one or both feet and often leads to discomfort, instability, callusing, and difficulty finding supportive footwear.

Cavus foot may be inherited, but it’s frequently linked to underlying neurological conditions such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, cerebral palsy, stroke, or muscular dystrophy. Because the cause determines how the condition progresses, an accurate evaluation is essential. In many neurologic cases, the deformity can gradually worsen over time.

Common symptoms include hammertoes or claw toes, painful calluses, ankle instability from an inward-tilting heel, and in some cases, foot drop. Our team provides detailed assessment, supportive treatments, and custom orthotic solutions to reduce pressure, improve stability, and help maintain long-term foot health.
