1. Best light hiking: Keen Voyageur. Side mesh panels on these cute hikers help keep your feet cool even when you’re blazing a new trail. The solid tread and reinforced arch ward off ankle-twists. ($89.95)
2. Best running: New Balance WR768. These get top marks for cushioning, durability, and flexibility for runners with low arches. See also America’s Healthiest Running Shoes for Mid- and High-Arched Runners. ($94.99)
3. Best trail running: GoLite Versa Force. With a cleatlike (but comfortable) tread, rock-defying heel-and-toe coverage, and anti-stink inner lining, these ultralightweight shoes will have you itching to go off-road. ($130)
4. Best walking: Merrell Siren Ventilator. Perfect for a quick jaunt or a calorie-blasting power walk, these shoes have a rubber sole that comfortably supports your arch, and the beveled heel allows you to pick up the pace without shortening your stride. ($85)

“Visit Health.com/americashealthiest for the best shoes for medium- and high-arched runners.” — I can’t find this item on the website. Can you help?
Where is the info on the best shoes for high arched runners?????????
I found the 768 at http://www.brownscatalog.com. They also have recommendations for running shoes based on low-medium-high arches. They do only carry the New Balance brand in athletics. But that’s all I wear!
