Problems linked to high arches
- Pain in the heel and the ball of the foot
- Calluses under the ball of the foot or outer edge of the foot
- Ankle sprains and ankles that roll outward
- Clawed toes or hammertoes
- Shoes that wear out along the outside edge
Why an exam matters
Many people are simply born with high arches. Less often, a high arch develops or worsens over time because of a nerve or muscle condition. Arches that are getting higher, especially with weakness, frequent tripping, or changes in both feet, should be evaluated.

When not to wait. If you can't put weight on your foot after an injury, have a wound, spreading redness, warmth, fever, or a foot that suddenly turns cold, pale, or dark, go to urgent care or an emergency department, or call 911. This clinic does not provide emergency care.
