The arch was good just not good enough for me - my feet are a special case of flat, LOL<br />I have orthotics so the arch support was the least of my concerns. I do have to say when<br />I first received them I was very disappointed and wouldn't wear them - then a week or so<br />ago I decided better at least try them and surprise of all surprises they were comfortable<br />and stylish and they didn't make my feet hurt.
