If you have high arches and supinate (underpronate), you usually want a neutral, well-cushioned running shoe rather than a traditional stability shoe. High arches tend to be more rigid and absorb less impact, so extra cushioning can help reduce stress on your feet, ankles, knees, and hips.

Shoes I'd generally avoid
If you truly supinate, heavily corrective stability shoes (like Brooks Adrenaline, ASICS Kayano, or HOKA Arahi) often aren't the best first choice because they're designed primarily for overpronation and can sometimes make an outward-rolling gait less comfortable.
