I had the same problem until I purchased the Lathrop & Sons, Hanwag Alaska GTX's and I throw in Superfeet,  after I take the original footbeds out...works great! plenty of room, and great arch support! Great boots too, if your in the market!!

I want a pair of those but i don't hit the mountains hard enough to need them right now. Hopefully i get on a chamois hunt this next fall. Then i'll be rocking the alps.  :tup:

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

The Lathrop & Sons insole doesn't look like it would have any arch support (in the video).  You guys that use them, what's your experience, do they provide any arch support??

  I do not have real high arches, but the wings do seem to give great support for me.  These guys are foot doctors so they have a good understanding of what makes a good insole.  Best of all their customer service has been second to none for me.  I would call and ask for Dusty.  He can give you details on how they would work for you and answer any questions you may have.

Just don't expect to get an expedited pair of boots.  Usually takes a bit of time to get the boots in.  Insoles should be better.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."
