Does these sneakers support a high arch?

Although the arch elevation is not a large one, it does exist. At this price, however, you could always buy an insert if necessary.

Yes. However, depending on how high your arch is, you may also want to use an insert. I purchased the shoes because I need arch support beyond what I normally get in some running shoes.

I believe I have a slightly high arch and in the past these shoes had been very comfortable. I am still wearing the old ones which are a size 8 1/2 med. I did put insoles in them, because it was more comfortable for me. I found the new shoes to be a little snug and the left foot hurt when I tried them on so I returned them for that reason.

The arch is the best I've found as far as height, but unfortunately for me/my size, the arch was about 1/4 of an inch too far back and therefore hit my heel instead of my arch. I had to return them for that reason. I wear a 10 wide, so ordered an 11. The most comfy shoe yet except for the positioning of the arch. Maybe your size would be fine. It's worth a try since its such a comfy shoe with a high arch.

Absolutely, go for it. I did, about, 15-yrs ago and now my once FLAT FEET have natural arches. Don't rush it, wear your orthotics for a half hour on day one and then go from there, depending on how you do. I've purchased all my orthotics from ArchCrafters, except for once. I recall that exception, orthotics from another company, was a total mistake cause I gave them to the dumpster. Not the ArchCrafters ; I still use my first pair of their orthotics. Right, they do not wear out. HillbillyPS. The caviot from Amazon, "not suitable for flat feet", I must assume, is to protect against law suits. Lawyers... Absolutely, go for it.

Not really. The main purpose of them is to keep your foot from sliding forward in heels thereby making them more comfortable. They are not support insoles but more like a tool. That's why they don't take up the entire bottom of your shoe.

they might ,as they do lift the heel up. I purchased them for plantar fasciitis and found them to be very uncomfortable.

No, the material is thick and fits snug for bracing but no extra support in arch.

If you are looking for a defined arch support this would not work. They are a very thin gel insert. They have placed the gel and designed the bottom just right to relieve certain pressure points in the feet. I have plantar fasciitis and they work GREAT for this. I do have a pair in my running/walking shoes and they are great for me, but I don't have flat feet. Hope this helps.

these are for me, her husband, I usually don't wear high heels so i'm unable to answer the question. I can say they work very well in my shoes

I think they may - I bought these for my brother and his foot tends be wide due to him being "flat footed" - no arch. These are also very flexible and so easy to wear as the are forgiving. I also have a pair and love them - they are very comfortable and soft. I would certainly take a chance on these - if they fit, you will be so glad that you bought them. They are made very well and you can just hose them off when if they dirty. Sure hope this helps.

The insole is made of foam. While the arch is firmer than a lot of inserts you buy at a store, it still has some give to it. So it is not rigid in my opinion. I have high arches and this has been the best support for my foot with exception to custom orthotics from the doctor which are truly rigid.

Probably not. I bought them for my daughter and they did not stay on her feet very long. Unfortunately, I cannot suggest you buy them for that reason.

They are great because they create an arch that normally is not there for flat feet.

Yes, I think they do. My daughter can't really wear them with ballet flats because her foot is now so close to the edge. Good luck!!!

For me they do, but I don't have weak ankles to begin with, and as long as you tie the shoelaces really tight you'll have support. I ordered 0.5 size bigger (usually I wear 5.5 but I ordered a 6) and it fit perfectly. I found these to be extremely comfortable, especially since the rentals that I was using were extremely uncomfortable, these feel way better.

I have severe pronation and fallen arches. So I need a strong arch support as well. These are the only ones that work anywhere close to a custom orthotic. They will not last as long as a custom but they will do the trick for a year or two.

Arch support was for my husband's shoes (size 8). Trimming is not needed. Seems to fit into shoe no matter the size.

yes. these have just a "bootie" foot - the wearer will need a boot to wear these.

No they don't come with support, but they are quite light contrary to how they look
