The 8 best running shoes for running with cavus feet in 2024

Choosing the running shoes that best suit your characteristics is one of the main premises to enjoy during your running workouts and, even more so, for those athletes who have cavus feet where comfort is one of the main needs when it comes to running.

In this article we will see how cavus feet affect your footprint and what kind of running shoes can be your allies to avoid the dreaded discomfort and enjoy running.

The cavus foot is characterized by a very high arch (the opposite of flat feet), which causes the weight to be distributed differently in each of our strides. Instead of resting on the entire sole, it tends to concentrate in specific areas, such as the heel and forefoot, leaving a "bridge" in the middle that barely touches the ground.

Having this type of footprint can cause problems and discomfort such as pain in the soles of the feet, an increased risk of sprains and, in a very recurrent form, overloads in calf and sole, so it is more necessary than ever to find the shoes that best suit this type of foot, will be shoes that have great cushioning and good support to redistribute the pressure.
