This is a great question, and basically the reason I showed up right now: to get some Arch Ease info.How can you have flat feet and high arches? Aren't those the opposite of each other? I have flat feet and shoes with high arch support hurt.
I don't know how to explain this but my arches on my feet are really high when there is no load on them.. However once I stand or walk, the whole foot collapses on the arch. The arch ease prevents that from happening and I think it also corrected my posture a little bit..How can you have flat feet and high arches? Aren't those the opposite of each other?

So what's the deal with White's arches? I'd like to hear everyone's experience with varying degrees of arches/foot shapes and the Arch Ease.
I have also heard people with flat feet swear by them, which sounds counterintuitive. I have high arches, and with my Daytons, which have leather insoles and no arch support, the balls of my feet hurt because that's where all my weight sits. Can anyone weigh in on the relative support and comfort of White's vs Wesco's?
Slightly off-topic: I assume the leather sole in my Daytons is glued in. Though they are probably a half size too large, there's not enough room to add an insole comfortably. Could I have a cobbler remove the leather insole so I can replace it with something soft and arch-supporty, without compromising something structural or having to unbuild and rebuild the boot? I'm also considering adding an arch support insert (which is like a small shoulder pad that gets glued where your arch is), but I can't tell how much that would help, as the ball of my foot would still be resting on stiff leather.
Interesting. I always thought that regardless of which sole you choose, they bump up the heel to compensate, so the (interior) heel height is always the same. Is it only the commando sole for which they make an exception, or do they do that with say, a 705 half sole as well?In my White's I got the commando half sole which makes the heel slightly lower compared to the forefoot. Before I settled on the commando sole I was going to get the heel dropped 1/4", but with the commando I went full height on the heel.
