>>2497865OP, I feel your pain. For years I struggled with this and it lead to me not hiking cause of the pain.
My feet have been flat since birth, and my arches are non existent, totally flat. I struggled with this for a long time til I found the following boot:

I had been getting custom insoles, but found that lately, its better without them. They were cramping my feet in the boot and causing my pinky toe to roll under my next toe and develop blisters on it.
I hope this helps you as much as it has me. Pic related, my swollen & fucked up leg after one of my surgeries.
