Yes, arch support offers significant benefits in instances of excessive supination.
Every foot supinates during motion, so to a certain extent, supination is normal. However, excessive foot supination suggests inadequate arch support.
Many shoes cater to the needs of those with overpronation and flatter arches, so an arch support insole is helpful for supination or underpronation.
Custom orthotics help by aiding with:
- Weight-bearing activities
- Shock absorption
- Balancing posture
- Correcting stance
It's important to note that supination has many underlying causes.
Upstep's custom orthotics for supination are molded to the shape of your foot to meet your specific foot support needs. In this way, they address the root cause of your problem.

Supination can be avoided by ensuring that your high arches are properly supported. Because most shoes don't provide enough support, you'll want to invest in arch support insoles with a deep heel cup that are designed for high arches. Go for custom arch support that fit your arch level properly.
Because overpronation is more common than supination, most shoes accommodate to individuals who overpronate. So look for shoes that are created specifically for underpronators or supinators. Also when shopping for shoes, look for ones that are light, have plenty of cushioning, and have enough of room in the toes.
