Can a tight plantar fasciitis brace cause a high arched foot?

No: It would help support the plantar fascia but cannot cause a foot to becomr "high arched".

Probably not. : The height of your arch is generally controlled by genetics, and not bracing. There are certain braces that will help support the arch, but once you take the brace off, your arch will return to its natural "height".
