Your arches (the spaces on the inner side of your feet) are one of the most important parts of your feet, making it possible for your feet to sustain your body weight. They also reduce the amount of damage everyday activities do to your feet and shift the energy your feet absorb while walking into your next step. Since they are such an important part of how your body works, it’s important that you get to know them as well as possible.
