How to weigh down an arch?
Use Sandbags or Weights Put some weight on the base of your arches to make sure they aren’t blown down by the wind or tipped over by guests. You can use a variety of materials as weight. You can use sandbags, bricks, concrete blocks, or even metal weights. Place these over a solid base to strengthen your arch. Cover with a cage or smilax or fabric. What about something like fishing line tied from the top bar across the arch part to the base in the back? It would be pretty much invisible but would keep the arch from swaying. Cinder blocks wrapped in fabric and place a secure board across the arch and secure it.
How deep should arch supports be?
The arch support of the insole should mimic the height of the arch of your foot and the insoles should be firm and durable so they keep their shape during use and over time. People with flat feet need insoles with structured support made with a low or medium arch height and a deep heel cup. This can be in the form of over-the-counter arch supports, or custom arch supports molded to meet the unique shape of your foot.If your feet roll inward too often when you walk (a condition known as overpronation) or if you have flat feet with little to no visible arch, you’re more likely to need arch support. These foot types put uneven stress on joints and can affect your overall alignment.
