Arch support function is the core breakthrough to solve sports injuries and chronic pain in people with high arches. Studies show that 12% of adults worldwide have high arches due to various factors. Their long-term lack of scientific support will increase the risk of complications such as plantar fasciitis by 3-8 times.
The invisible crisis of people with high arches
1.Mechanical imbalance from an anatomical perspective
2. Four major design defects of traditional canvas shoes
High arches cause the three-point force structure of the foot to collapse. First, the peak pressure on the forefoot can reach 3.2 times the body weight (2.5 times for normal feet). Secondly, when the calcaneal inversion angle exceeds 10°, the probability of ankle sprain increases by 60%. Finally, the tensile strength of the plantar fascia decreases by 42%, causing chronic inflammation.
Straight footbed: forced compression of the arch curve, resulting in excessive flexion of the metatarsophalangeal joint
Homogeneous midsole: unable to disperse the high pressure area of the forefoot, accelerating the atrophy of the plantar fat pad
The importance of arch support function
The reason why arch support function has become a necessary element of high-arch shoes is first due to the special needs of people with high arches. People with high-arched feet have relatively high arches, which reduces the contact area between the sole and the ground, and easily leads to uneven force. When walking or exercising, if there is a lack of sufficient support, it is easy to cause foot fatigue and pain. This may even affect the health of the knees, hip joints and even the entire spine. Therefore, high-arch shoes can effectively disperse the pressure on the sole of the foot through the built-in arch support structure and provide stable support for the arch.
Arch support function is an indispensable core element of high arch shoes. It not only meets the needs of people with high arches for comfort and health protection, but also shows its unique charm in the canvas shoe market through scientific design details and a wide range of application scenarios.
