Do i have high or low arches?

When ever i run or step down on my foot it kinda feels like im stepping onto a knife in the middle of my foot? does this mean i have really high arches or like no arches at all?

you know, that's questionable. I have no arches and my right foot would roll a bit when I walked. I would go to a specilized running store and they can test you for what types of arch you have and give you a proper sole shoe so you don't have walking problems in your future. Don't go to a big name store, like sports authority or dicks, go to one that SPECIFICALY specializes in running shoes

Usually when I do pointe work I get that sharp pain too and I have high arches. I'm getting that it has very little to do with the size of your arches but it does feel better after you rub/stretch them.

Well, I get that all the time! You can put pressure on it, and eventually it will go away. Hope you feel better!:)

Take darkish piece of paper get your foot wet and step on it. This will show how much of you foot is arched. and I used to have the same problem-it's because you have high arches
