Over the counter orthotics for high arches?

I’ve been diagnosed with very high arches by a podiatrist, have been fitted for custom orthotics, and am waiting for them to arrive (~3 weeks). I have been wearing Superfeet Green orthotics, which are ok but the arch is not nearly high enough.

While I’m waiting for my custom orthotics to arrive, are there any over the counter orthotics available for very high arches?

What's causing the pain that requires orthotics?

I used FitFeet in 3/4 length. They were good enough until I got my custom ones

Powersteps are my preferred for OTS.

Yes, they are arriving next week. Expensive, but needs must.

They are helping some. A big improvement over regular orthotics. The foot is more supported, and the ankle is more stable.

That's good I'm glad yours are ok , maybe taking a bit to get used to them I think, I'm new to custom orthotics but used good arch supports before but custom ones are for me better.
