Hey buddy!
Ever wondered why some shoes feel like heaven on your feet and others just… don’t?
It’s not always about the brand — it’s all about your foot type.
Let’s figure out if your feet are flat, normal, or high arch — and how to choose shoes that actually fit your feet, not fight them!
1. Why Knowing Your Foot Arch is Important?
Think of your foot arch like the suspension of a car — it absorbs shock and supports your body.
If your arch type mismatches your shoe, you’ll feel pain, fatigue, or even face posture issues.
2. The Water Test (Do It at Home
Let’s keep it simple,
- Take a paper bag or cardboard
- Wet the bottom of your foot
- Step on the surface
- Check the print
Now match it
3. Types of Foot Arches
👣 Flat Arch (Low Arch)
- Footprint looks almost full — no curve
- Feet touch the ground almost entirely
- Common issue: Overpronation (feet roll inward too much)
🥿 Best Shoe Type:
Motion control shoes, arch support insoles
4. 👣 Normal Arch (Medium)
- Visible curve in the arch
- Weight evenly distributed
- No major issues
👟 Best Shoe Type:
Most neutral running or walking shoes work fine
5. 👣 High Arch
- Big curve in the footprint, heel and ball only touch
- Less shock absorption
- Common issue: Underpronation (foot rolls outward)
🥾 Best Shoe Type:
Cushioned shoes, soft midsoles, flexibility is key
✅ Quick Tip from Us
Don’t buy shoes just because they “look cool.”
Choose based on how your feet feel. Comfort > Style — always.
7. Bonus: How to Check Arch Type in Store (Without Water)
If you’re shopping, just look at the bottom of your old shoes:
- Worn inner side = flat foot
- Even wear = normal
- Worn outer edge = high arch
Smart, right?
Final Thoughts
Your feet carry you every day — knowing their structure helps you treat them better.
Once you know your arch type, finding the right shoes becomes super easy.Your sole mate,
