Is this about appearance or arch pain? I find good shoes with custom made orthotics help me with my high arches.

You will vet hard skin with high arches because the foot shape means there is extremely high pressure on your forefoot and heels especially the 1st and 5th toe joints.
Firstly you need to see a chiropodist to remove any crusty hard skin and then you need a solid regime of creaming your feet every single day, twice a day morning and evening. You need something like CCS cream.
Then look at your shoes. Are you wearing hard soled shoes? You need cushioning of some sort. Skechers have great cushioning.
After a month of this regime you will really notice a big difference.
