Help with flattening feet with high arches needed. any good orthotic found in stores?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Some choices are: Superfeet, spenco, and powerstep. With feet like you describe, it is possible that a custom orthotic would be best. You should visit with a podiatrist to see what the best treatment options are for you.

Orthotics: A true orthotic is a custom made device. The term orthotic has been bastardized by companies that make 800, 000 of something to make you think that something hanging on a hook will help with what you have. Which , of course , is impossible. See your podiatrist for areal orthotics
