There are so many activities that can be done by every human being in this world, one of the most important is sports. Sports can have many positive impacts on a human life. However, people who have High Arch foot disorders cannot carry out their activities optimally, one of the activites that cannot be done optimally is exercise, because if people who have High Arch foot abnormalities are forced to do sports, a disease called Metatarsalgia will appear. If this Metatarsalgia attacks, the impact that appears is pain in the Metatarsal bones, to pain that appears in the waist. If they only rely on the additional insole, they can’t maximize it because the size of the additional Insole with the shoe must be very suitable, otherwise it can cause injuries to the foot due to shifting between the Insole and the shoe. Therefore, this study wanted to get an alternative solution in the form of making special shoes for light exercise sports that can be done also for various other activities so that people with High Arch foot disorders can move like people who have normal foot without thinking about Metatarsalgia.
