Many people today use arch supports because they experience pain or have been prescribed to use them by a doctor. They have been recommended for people with low or high arches. However, some argue that not everyone actually needs them. Sometimes it is a mere case of weak muscles in the foot that can be remedied with specific exercises. Before you go out and buy your pair, make sure you are well informed about your condition and be sure that you really do need them.

Everyone has different feet. Babies are often left to walk without shoes so that the foot muscles can strengthen on their own. It may be genetic, or you might have slightly weak muscles or metatarsal bones. To identify the correct muscles that we are talking about, try to pick up a towel off the floor using your toes. You should feel the arches clenching.

If you are flatfooted or have arches that are too high, you will probably require arch support. You may experience pain in your feet or other parts of your legs while standing, walking or doing exercise.You may also feel like you are unbalanced.

What the support actually does is balance out the feet, thus taking strain off other parts of the leg. They also give you better balance.

If you feel pain in your feet, the first step is to see a doctor or a podiatrist. If they prescribe these devices for you, they may even sell them at their practice. If not, you could buy them online. You could also look at sports shops. Another option is to look at health shops or shops that sell health shoes.

Arch Supports are not cheap so before you go out and buy a pair, be sure that you really do need them. Your problem may be solved by simply exercising the right muscles. If you do need arch supports, buy them from a trusted dealer. Make sure they are the right make and size for your foot. It may take some getting used to in your shoes, but they will eventually make your life a lot easier.
