I have high arches which creates extra pressure on the heel and the metatarsal area (ball of the foot). I have custom soft orthotics that are made from cast molds. My orthotist first has me step into a box of very soft foamy material, which he creates the mold from. Luckily, my insurance pays for a new set of these orthotics every year. Otherwise, the cost would be typically around $400.

My actual foot size is 11 1/2 D, but the shoes I buy are 13 6E. The shoes I finally settled on after extensive trial on error, are training shoes manufactured by New Balance. The current NB model number is the 857.

They come black or white. Best of luck in your search...
