high arches
Elevated foot curves
High arches describes feet where the arch—the curved underside between ball and heel—rises more than typical, leaving a pronounced gap when standing.
The condition can cause foot pain and instability.
The term also describes architectural features: The cathedral's high arches drew the eye upward.
