Materials Used
These shoes feature both natural fabric and synthetic materials that are combined to provide great overall ventilation and customized support overall.

Tread/Traction
While we would have certainly liked to see a bit more tread overall for use during slippery conditions, overall, the grip and traction are pretty good. In most cases, you won’t have to worry about slipping during your morning run.

Support
One of the nice things about these shoes is the customized and streamlined support that is provided by the different parts. The seamless upper portion combines easily with the DNA mid-sole and together they adapt quickly to your running style, weight, height, and even the running surface to provide fantastic overall support that is customized to your high arches.

Flexibility
While the shoes offer superb stability and support, they also allow your feet to move and flex naturally to help prevent overpronation.

Summary
If you don’t mind a little less traction or tread, and want fantastic overall support, this Pure Cadence 6 from Brooks is a great overall choice for those who are looking for the best running shoes for high arches.

Overall Fit
Like our first choice on this list, nearly all of the people who bought the shoes liked how they fit. Only 10% felt that the shoes were a bit small overall.

Materials Used
These shoes are made entirely from synthetic materials and feature a mesh upper shoe area for maximum breath-ability. The neutral cushioning on the inside provides great overall comfort. In most cases, people thought that they were running on clouds.

Tread/Traction
While these may be a great choice for running shoes on pavement or smooth surfaces, the tread is not really a great choice for running on dirt trails or uneven surfaces. The tread isn’t exactly what we would call robust.

Support
While these running shoes do provide adequate support for most people, if you are an avid runner or training for a marathon, these shoes do wear out a bit more quickly than expected, and the overall support wanes with time. If you’re looking for a shoe that can offer great support through the life of the shoe, you might want to consider other options.

Flexibility
Overall these shoes offer a nice balance between stability and flexibility, allowing your foot to move in a natural way.

Summary
These shoes provide a great overall fit and comfort, and flexibility to make running fun. While we would have liked to see a bit more long term quality and support, for the average user, this shoe from Brooks is a great overall choice.

Overall Fit

Materials Used
These shoes are made entirely from synthetic material, including an engineered mesh top portion, a synthetic foam insole, and a synthetic rubberized sole.

Tread/Traction
Overall the tread is a great choice for running on both concrete and asphalt, but it does tend to wear unevenly depending on your running gait. These shoes may need to be re-soled after a few seasons of hard running.

Support
With the molded foam collar around the ankle and the midsole cushioning, these shoes provide a good deal of support overall. Many people find that they are easy to wear and help them go the distance in comfort and stability.

Flexibility
While most found this shoe to be very comfortable while running, quite a few complained about its bulkiness and lack of overall flexibility. While it does offer fantastic support overall, it can prevent the natural flex of your foot from happening while running.

Summary
If you want a shoe that will last you for the long haul and carry you through miles of great runs, this entry by New Balance is certainly a great choice. While we would have liked to see a bit more flex in the shoe overall, the support and comfort can’t be beaten.

Materials Used
These running shoes use synthetic material both on the inside and outside to provide great overall comfort and support for those with high arches. Not only do they provide great cushioning overall, but the materials also offer good stability to help you keep from overpronation.

Tread/Traction
The tread on these shoes is adequate, providing good traction on concrete or asphalt. We wouldn’t suggest using them on dirt or rocky trail, or in severe weather, because they don’t have the best gripping power we’ve seen.

Support
Overall the support offered by these running shoes is adequate and will work well for most situations. The heel and insole area provide a good deal of stability, allowing the toe box to have more room and freedom of movement overall.

Flexibility
Like many of the Nike shoes on the market today, this shoe really excels is providing great flexibility and natural movement overall. While the support and traction may be less than the best on the market today, the natural movement allowed is a great boon, especially over longer distances.

Summary
If you’re looking for a shoe that offers flexible, lightweight comfort as well as decent support for your high arches, this example from Nike is certainly worth a look. While we would have liked to see more traction and better support overall, it’s comfort and flexibility definitely puts it on our list of shoes to consider.

Materials Used
The materials used in the creation of these shoes are primarily synthetic. The cushioning is firm and supportive overall, and the upper mesh portion allows for good ventilation overall.

Tread/Traction
The tread on these shoes are a great choice if your running environment is the urban jungle. They provide great anti-skid features that allow for quick stops on relatively smooth surfaces.

Support
Time after time, customers who bought these shoes raved about how supportive they were, especially for those who have higher arches. Not only did the firm cushioning provide support where needed, but the actual structure of the shoe provided much needed stability overall.

Flexibility
While this shoe does offer wonderful support and stability, especially on the longer runs, its ability to move and flex as needed is somewhat limited due to it’s thicker than average out sole.

Summary
If you need a shoe that offers superior support overall on the longer runs, this running shoe from Hoka One One is worth considering. While we would have liked to see a bit more flexibility, the stability and firm cushioning provides a great deal of comfort overall.

Overall Fit
While not as well-fitting as our first choice, these running shoes were found to be a great overall fit by nearly 80% of the people who bought them. Those who didn’t like the fit found that they were a bit larger than expected.

Materials Used
These high arches running shoes are made entirely from synthetic material, including a synthetic rubber sole that offers great overall support while on the trail. The breathable mesh upper portion allows for good ventilation, and the lightweight mid-sole offers great moisture protection and heat reduction overall.

Tread/Traction
One of the highlights of this particular running shoe is the great traction that it provides. The contagrip treads provide the ability to easily go from off-road to paved trail easily, and turning quickly to try a new route is simple. If you’re worried about running in adverse conditions, this is one shoe that can provide you with the traction you need to keep your feet under you.

Support
The majority of people found these shoes to be quite supportive overall and indicated that they helped to prevent unnecessary overpronation or even rolling of the ankles during their runs. These shoes also offered great stability in the heel area which helps to keep you moving forward during a run.

Flexibility
Perhaps the only area that we thought could be improved in this pair of running shoes was in the flexibility department. While the reinforced heel and soles did offer fantastic stability overall, it didn’t allow the foot to move and flex as naturally as we would have liked.

Summary
If you’re interested in great running shoes for high arches that allow you to brave off-trail running as well as on paved roads, this example from Salomon is a fantastic choice. While we would have liked to see a bit more flexibility, the overall support and traction are hard to beat.

Overall Fit
About 75% of the people who bought these running shoes found that they fit their high arches comfortably and offered to support and stability that they needed.

Materials Used
These shoes feature a synthetic mesh upper portion that allows for maximum ventilation, and lightweight flex-film overlays to provide support.

Tread/Traction
The tread on these shoes is surprisingly robust and offers great stopping power and traction overall. This is a shoe that can travel easily from the streets to the trail, and back again.

Support
While it does offer adequate support to the ankle and instep area of the foot, it could give a bit more. The flex-film overlays provide only what is needed for a person with normal arches, but may prove to be not enough for someone with higher than normal ones.

Flexibility
Perhaps one of the best features of this particular entry is the great flexibility that this lightweight shoe provides. This is one instance where a shoe is almost as comfortable and flexible as your own bare feet.

Summary
If you’re looking for a lightweight shoe that can easily move with you through a wide range of running environments, definitely consider the Saucony brand. While the support could be better, the traction, lightweight material and flexibility make it a great choice.

Overall Fit
Roughly three-quarters of the runners who bought this shoe found it to be a great overall fit. The last quarter found them to be either slightly too small or entirely too large.

Materials Used
These running shoes used a combination of fabric and synthetic materials to provide great overall comfort. They feature a toe bumper area, as well as a gusseted tongue and padded collar to protect your feet while on the trail.

Tread/Traction
Surprisingly, these shoes didn’t offer as much traction as we would have expected for a trail running shoe. We expected to have more grooves and gripping power overall than we experienced.

Support
In truth, it’s in the area of support that this shoe really shines. The cushioning design and technology are low to the ground and provides fantastic overall support that is still responsive to your movements and running style. In addition, the new Rev lite foam offers the stability and support that fans of New Balance have come to know at about a third of the weight.

Flexibility
Another aspect of the low profile cushioning that is a great advantage is the increased overall flexibility it provides. While other shoes count on reinforcement to add stability, these shoes rely on using the natural movement of your feet and flexibility to provide overall support. If you’re likely to overpronate, but you still want to feel like your running in your bare feet, this is definitely the shoe to consider.

Summary
These shoes from New Balance live up to the brand’s reputation as a great overall running shoe, offering fantastic support and overall flexibility. While we would have liked to see a bit more traction, for the weekend trail warrior with high arches, this is a great choice.

Materials Used
This shoe is created using entirely synthetic materials that are designed to be lightweight, strong, and comfortable overall. The upper portion features a quick-dry mesh material, and the inner portions feature materials and technology that allow for a more customized, and cushioned fit.

Tread/Traction
One of the areas that this particular running shoe does fall short, unfortunately, is in the traction or tread department. There really isn’t much tread to speak off, beyond the bare essentials. We wouldn’t recommend running in adverse conditions or off-trail in these shoes.

Support
Perhaps more than any other shoe on this list, these Altra Women’s Torin 2.0 Running shoes offer great overall support. They are specifically designed to offer the support and stability needed for runners with high arches and can be easily used in a wide range of athletic situations. They are designed to not only offer support while running, but to also help you correct your running form, prevent toe splay, and feature full cushioning that keeps your ankle and heel stable and working together nicely.

Flexibility
While the overall support is fantastic for this particular shoe, the flexibility that it provides can definitely be improved. Quite a few reviewers compared it to running in well-fitting boxes; there was little give to provide for natural movement.

If you’re looking for a running shoe that provides great overall support, and you’re not worried about having a lot of flexibility, this is a great choice.

Overall Fit
The majority of people found this shoe comfortable to wear overall, with only about 30% indicating that they should have bought a larger size.

Materials Used
These shoes use a combination of synthetic materials, natural rubber sole and strategic gel inserts to provide a great combination of comfort, stability, and support to help your gait improve as you run. Simply put, these shoes will have you running better the longer you use them.

Tread/Traction
Unfortunately, the tread on these particular shoes does leave a bit to be desired. They have little gripping power, and can easily wear down after a few dozen miles of running.

Support
Between the gel cushioning, engineered mid-sole area, and the structured arch and neutral support, this shoe is a great choice for those with high arches overall. If you’re looking for a shoe that truly helps prevent overpronation, this is it.

Flexibility
The flexibility of this shoe is adequate, but nothing to write home about. It allows for decent movement of your feet, but no more than any other athletic shoes.

Summary
These running shoes from Asics may be at the bottom of our list, but they are some of the best shoes on the market today for those with high arches. They offer great overall support and help you to run correctly in comfort. The downsides that we found were poor traction overall, and potential sizing issues especially for larger feet.
