On the advice of my doctor, I went to a local shoe store, one where they actually measure your foot, and got a pair of New Balance 940's, which I hear they no longer make, and a pair of Brooks, don't remember the specific type, both of which have higher arches. I took both of these shoes to Disney World and alternated between the two every other day. The only problem I had was a small blister forming on my right pinky toe and the one next to it, and that was taken care of with body glide. I would recommend those two shoes.
