I don’t recall seeing a thread for this, but I’m very curious as what SG’s or hopeful’s for that matter have super high arches. It’d be super cool if anyone can link their sets showing off those arches or just pics in general. 😁😁😁

Plantar Faciitis is a good indication that your calves are extremely tight. Try foam rolling your gastroc and soleous first, then hit them with a good stretch. Avoid wearing anything with heels. Wear flats or sneakers as much as possible to avoid increasing the tension in your calves. After that, roll a golf ball under your foot. That will help to also relieve tension from the fascia on the bottom of your foot. Be sure to ice the bottom of your foot for 15-20 minutes after. Let me know if you need/want anymore info.

(pronounced fa-shee-eye-tiss)
Description:
This is among the most common of foot injuries and is signaled by pain on the front of the heel or all along the arch. You probably have a lot of pain when you first get out of bed -- it's probably murder just to walk out of your bedroom. Ditto on standing up after a long time of being seated. The pain may range anywhere from a vague pull along the arch to the impression that your arch is ripping in half (don't worry, it's not actually doing that). To make sure it's plantar fasciitis, as opposed to a heel spur (see below), press your thumb up hard on the middle of your heel. If you feel pain, it's plantar fasciitis.
Likely causes:
Fascia is the stuff your body uses either to separate muscle groups or to connect separate parts. In your foot, fascia form the arch, connecting your heel bone to the balls of your feet. In the ideal foot with the ideal stride, your weight during your stride rolls efficiently from your heel, through your arch, and off of the ball of your foot. The arch flattens a little bit to absorb your weight and then springs back. Of course for most of us, it's a bit much to ask for both an ideal foot AND an ideal stride. Plantar fasciitis is the all too common result of your weight moving improperly through your arch so that it is overstretched. In more extreme cases, the arch loses its flexibility altogether so that it no longer springs back (in which case you have a fallen arch, see flat feet below). The injury is aggravated, like most injuries, by running too much. It also doesn't help much to run on hard surfaces or run on the balls of your feet (for example, when running hills or doing trackwork).
Remedy:
First, ease off on the miles and cut out the hills and speedwork. When you do run, make sure your calves and hamstrings are well stretched.
Plantar fasciitis is essentially an inflammation of the fascia. Give it ice immediately after running -- ten minutes on ice, ten minutes off, and repeat. Take anti-inflammatories to reduce the swelling. For that early-morning pain, avoid getting out of bed barefot. Put on some thick socks or slippers first.
To get at the source of the problem, you have to give your arch some help and support. Try wearing an arch strapping. This will add support to your arch. If the strapping does not provide enough relief, pick up some arch supports. You should be able to find them (probably by Dr. Scholls) at a drug store. They raise the arch and shift burden off the heel. By wearing these you also give the fascia a little slack -- the arch doesn't have to stretch as far. If the strapping and the arch supports together are not enough, try adding heel pads. You can buy these, or just use make-up sponges (you're looking for 1/2-inch sponge rubber).
Also, tight calves can add strain to the fascia. Spend some extra time stretching your calves with wall pushups.
This kind of home treatment is usually fairly successful for plantar fasciitis. Give it a try, it's a lot cheaper than orthotics. But if after two weeks you still have pain, see a podiatrist who treats athletes (and who is preferably a runner herself). Orthotics may be necessary. If so, they should solve the problem for good.

I built a pretty robust Arch setup for some digital signage/kiosk systems for work. It's a neat OS for all the ease of modulated build.

when men have good arched feet they become more feminine their calves are smaller than men with flat feet who have bigger calves so if I had a child I know the son would be born with better arched feet as long as the mother also has a good arch like mine and he would be manlier than a kid from someone with arched feet...

Yeah all Arch Enemy incarnations were pretty fucking dope, but only one vocalist from the ranks of Arch Enemy can reign supreme and that vocalist is the one and only Angela mother fuckin' Gossow!! She was by far and away the dopest vocalist that Arch Enemy had. I really miss Angela and her trademark vocals that made grown men cower in fear of her might!!...

Five-Minute fiction - 22:45-22:50
The ancient peoples called it the Arch of the Infinite, and little is known about its origins. The stone ring is worn, the edges chipped and cracked with age and travel, but the stone itself is not fragile.
How it came to be possessed by the Enemy is unknown, but the legends speak of a quest, and of noble heroes led...
