Cycling shoe recommendations

Not an exact shoe recommendation, but high & collapsing arches are likely best addressed directly via proper footbeds with the right arch height for you.

Specialized, Bontrager, and others offer shoe footbeds / insoles with various arch heights. The goal is to support the arch, not let it float and collapse. By doing so, you get a more natural foot shape under load and reduce the some of the forefoot splay associated with lack of arch support.

Maybe you have looked at these, but if not, I recommend checking them out. I sell a set of footbeds with nearly every fitting I do at my shop.
