A member asked:
I was recently diagnosed with "cavus deformity of foot/unspecified laterality." would dr. scholl's orthotics work or do i need more specialized ones?

High arch: Cavus foot is just another way to say you have a high arch in your foot. In a sense, it is the opposite of having a flat foot. You may or not have problems with it. If it is severe, it can sometimes be associated with other conditions. Don't hesitate to be seen for it.
