I have a very low arch and having problems looking for a shoe with low arch support. I find that with all the shoes I have worn, after a day of playing I get arch pain. I'am looking for reccomendations for a shoe with lower arch support and made for a wider foot. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Are you looking for a shoe that has support for a low arch, or a shoe that has a low amount of arch support? You should sit down, extend your foot forward with no bend in the knee, and flex your foot without aide so that there is maximum arch present. I think that's what the doctor did with me when getting a mold for my inserts.
There was a company that i saw advertised in an issue of Tennis a few months ago. Does anyone know what the Web site was? I'm not happy with my insoles and got greatly ripped on them. They work for my body, but they are too short and I developed painful spots on my forefoot. Now I much cut out a portion of the original insoles of shoes to help extend the inserts I got. And they have developed small cracks in the heels and the material has ripped on one. Definitely try a self-moldable insert first, but not generic ones from some store. Been there, done that, I'd rather place squares of cardboard under the insoles. That place in Tennis looked to have a good insole; does anyone know the URL?

Just browsing the TW site, supposedly Diadora shoes fit the description. I'm going to a local store to try on some Diadoras and then purchase them from TW if they have a cheaper price.

I know exactly what you mean! I have pair of orthotics just like those that I had made when I was training for a marathon. Between the cost of molds, follow-up appointments, extraneous services the podiatrist tacked on, and the orthotics themselves, they ended probably costing me close to $700. Now, they sit in the back of my closet.
I've been using these moldable inserts and am very happy with them thus far. I was so happy with the first pair, I bought five more for my other types of shoes. Altogether, those six pairs were less than $200.

Getting back on topic, I've found that Nike and Adidas don't work too well for my flat feet. I've Asics, New Balance, and Reebok work better for me. Much of that is based off of shoes made for running though. I currently have the Reebok Bonzer IIs and they are very comfortable.[/url]
