High arches put extra pressure on the heel and ball of the foot, so flat, flimsy sandals can quickly become uncomfortable. The right sandal cushions and supports those pressure points. Here's what to look for.
What to look for in sandals for high arches
- A cushioned footbed that absorbs pressure under the heel and ball.
- Arch contact so the arch is supported rather than left unsupported in mid-air.
- A secure fit to stop your foot sliding and adding pressure.
Do high arches need arch support?
High arches often feel best with a contoured footbed that gently fills the arch and good cushioning at the heel and ball, where high-arched feet take the most load. See the fit guide.
How Sole Mate helps
Sole Mate bases pair a cushioned memory-foam footbed with a With Arch option — supportive where high arches need it, with shock absorption at the heel. Shop the bases or build your set.
