Is arch support good for everyone?

Added arch support isn't needed for everyone, as the structure of the arch of the foot can support itself.

However, many people do need arch support to relieve pain, maintain body alignment, and ensure proper gait.

In cases where the foot arch needs support, shoes can have built-in insoles, or insoles can be inserted into the shoes.

Custom orthotics offer the best support as they are designed to conform to the exact shape of your arch.

Upstep offers custom orthotics for a wide range of conditions that require arch support. These include flat feet, standing for long periods, and doing a lot of physical activity or sports.

Not everyone needs arch support. However, people with an active lifestyle (for example, runners) will benefit from arch support. Additionally, people with foot deformities will find such support necessary to stay pain-free and maintain proper foot alignment.

Arch supports aren't right for everyone, but they will help if you have:

• Foot pain
• Fallen arches
• A very physical lifestyle
• Obesity
